## What Pangolin Adoption from the UK Actually Means
Symbolic pangolin adoption is a donation directed to /appeals/pangolins — not ownership of an individual pangolin. WARN pools adoption income into triage and rehabilitation partner grants.

## How to Adopt from £5/Month
Visit /adopt/pangolin, choose monthly or one-off, pay in GBP.

## Why Adoption Is Not Individual Animal Ownership
Pangolins are specialist wild animals needing quiet rehabilitation — not pets with donor naming rights.

## Trafficking and Seizure Response
Live pangolins seized at ports need immediate triage. Adoption income helps partners maintain quarantine capacity — see /rescue/what-happens-to-seized-pangolins.

## Malaysia and Indonesia Programmes
Primary Sunda pangolin rescue countries. See /rescue/pangolin-rescue-malaysia.

## Adoption Versus Direct Appeal Donation
Both fund the same programme. Adoption provides a species certificate.

## Gift Pangolin Adoption for UK Occasions
Checkout at /adopt/pangolin, email WARN for a certificate.

## Gift Aid Transparency
WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. Compare /rescue/sponsor-a-pangolin-uk.

## What WARN funds
- Pangolin quarantine and low-stress recovery equipment.
- Veterinary triage training for live seizures.
- Release monitoring and field transport.
- Gift certificates for UK occasion giving when requested.
