Vienna, Austria - December 05, 2024 This holiday season, why not give a gift that waddles? A symbolic sponsorship of a Humboldt penguin at Vienna Zoo offers a unique, meaningful present that supports animal care and conservation efforts. With over 600 animal species to choose from, including the beloved penguins, giraffes, elephants, and red pandas, Vienna Zoo provides a range of sponsorships starting at just five euros a month. "With every sponsorship, you support the daily care of our animals and contribute to our species conservation work worldwide," said Dr. Stephan Hering-Hagenbeck, zoo director. There are four sponsorship packages available, each offering personalized certificates and exclusive events like the popular Advent punch, where sponsors can meet new enclosures for red pandas and otters. Those who complete their sponsorships by December 16 will receive their certificates in time for Christmas. The sponsorships are not just gifts for animal lovers—they also support vital conservation initiatives, making this a present that truly gives back.
