What symbolic means

A connection, not ownership.

Your chosen bird stays at REGI, where licensed staff provide lifelong care and the ambassador continues helping people learn about native wildlife.

The $50 adoption is a one-time contribution, not an exclusive sponsorship. It recognizes your connection to one ambassador while helping sustain excellent care across the education team.
