Adoption Programmes

Choose between our programmes where all funds go directly towards the sustainability and conservation work of The Datai Pledge:

- Adopt A Coral – Coral fragments collected from vulnerable reefs are available for adoption before they are rehabilitated at the Coral Nursery (an ex-situ facility to help corals recover) and transplanted back into the sea, either on coral frames or artificial reefs.

- Adopt A Tree – Collected seedlings and saplings nurtured into trees at the Native Tree Nursery can be adopted and replanted as part of the ongoing reforestation programme.

- Adopt A Dolphin (to be launched soon) – Partnering with the only marine mammal conservation NGO in Malaysia, MareCet, this programme benefits their long-running conservation project on Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins and Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoises within the Langkawi archipelago. 

- Adopt A Hornbill Nesting Box (to be launched soon) – With the expertise of hornbill conservationist and social enterprise Gaia, habitat restoration can be achieved by building artificial nesting boxes to boost the population of Great Hornbills.
