Adopt a species with 3Bee: from wolves to hedgehogs, choose who to protect

Italian biodiversity and why we need to act now

Italian biodiversity is changing fast: the wolf is back in the Apennines, but many iconic species — from foxes to hares, from badgers to hedgehogs, from wild boar to squirrels — fight every day against habitat loss, territorial fragmentation, road traffic and climate change. Every species lost is a crack in the balance of our ecosystems and natural heritage.

That's why Adopt a species exists: a simple bridge between you and Italian wildlife. By adopting, you turn concern into concrete action — supporting biologists, researchers and field partners who work every day to protect forests, meadows and all the animals that live there. No grand gestures needed: a conscious choice, repeated, can really make a difference.

Adoptable species: wolves, foxes, hedgehogs and more

Adopt a species lets you choose who you want to support within a real family of Italian wildlife. Every adoption translates into protected habitats, scientific research and concrete projects on the ground, from the Alps to the Mediterranean.

Species you can adopt include:

Wolf (Canis lupus italicus) — key predator of our forests, symbol of returning wildlife.
Fox (Vulpes vulpes) and hare (Lepus corsicanus, Lepus europaeus) — silent protagonists of countryside, forests and meadows.
Badger (Meles meles), hedgehog, squirrel, wild boar — familiar animals that remind us how close nature is.
Deer, roe deer and other ungulates that animate Italian forests.
Native bird and raptor species at risk.

Remember: you don't "own" an animal, you support a habitat and the entire web of life within it.
