Gifts with positive impact: Adopt a tree, a turtle or a coral and make a difference to nature conservation worldwide

TUI Care Foundation
  • Adoptions offer a meaningful way to support global conservation programmes
  • Gifts contribute to the planting of 5 million new trees, the protection of 2.9 million baby turtles and the restauration of corals
Berlin, 19 December 2025. This holiday season, the TUI Care Foundation is inviting donors to support vital nature conservation activities by adopting a tree, a turtle or a coral through its website. These symbolic adoptions offer a meaningful way to contribute to environmental protection and a thoughtful alternative to traditional gifts – one that supports nature and communities in some of the world’s most visited destinations.

Each adoption directly supports one of the Foundation’s long-standing conservation programmes. Turtle adoptions contribute to the TUI Turtle Aid programme, which is protecting 2.9 million endangered sea turtles and their nesting sites in destinations such as Cape Verde, Greece, Türkiye and Italy. Through nest monitoring, habitat protection and close collaboration with local communities, the programme helps safeguard future turtle populations while raising awareness of marine biodiversity.

By choosing a tree adoption, donors contribute to the TUI Forest programme, which focuses on reforestation, biodiversity conservation and strengthening climate resilience. Working with local partners, the programme restores degraded landscapes, protects existing forests and promotes sustainable land use, creating long-term benefits for ecosystems and the communities in destinations such as Mallorca, Rhodes, Peru, Colombia, Zanzibar and Mozambique. These donations make it possible for the TUI Care Foundation to achieve 5 million new trees in TUI Forests around the world.

Coral adoptions support the TUI Sea the Change programme, which restores damaged coral reefs and protects marine ecosystems in destinations across Asia, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. The programme combines science-based restoration techniques with education and community engagement to rebuild vital underwater habitats. For those choosing the premium coral adoption, there is the opportunity to name the coral, with adopters receiving a photograph of their coral at the TUI Care Foundation’s restoration site in Bali featuring a sustainable bamboo name tag after planting – creating a personal connection to the reef restoration process. The TUI Care Foundation’s gift adoptions offer a way for everyone to make a positive impact, either themselves or by sharing their contribution with others. Adoptions can be made on behalf of a loved one, making them a wonderful gift at a time of year when many are looking for meaningful, gifts with lasting impact.

All adoptions can be made directly through the TUI Care Foundation’s website at www.tuicarefoundation.com.
