Free Hector Dolphin with your Purchase of NZ$ 600+
Only while stocks last.
Hector’s dolphins are unique to New Zealand. It is estimated that there are only 7381 left of this endangered species, down from over 25,000 in 1970. They are intelligent and social animals, not to mention extremely cute and have never done anything to hurt anyone. Yet their numbers have been decimated as they stray into set nets and their habitat is degraded.
But it is not too late for our favourite dolphin. WWF – the World Wide Fund for Nature – have a fund raising programme specifically targeted at saving the Hector’s Dolphin. By challenging New Zealanders to adopt and individual dolphin (or even better a small group), WWF are able to raise awareness, and directly contribute to the survival of the species.
You might think that as a retailer of cool electronic products for your home, Totally Wired might be an unlikely supporter for such a cause. But this is a personal issue for us. We live overlooking Warrington Beach, north of Dunedin which is also home to a handful of Hector’s Dolphins. Every time we venture out into the bay, we look for the Hectors. Every time we find them it is both a thrill and a relief that they are still there. The fact that we also choose to take our holidays in remote places like Fiordland and Stewart Island where, despite comparative isolation, it is a readily apparent that pressures from both commercial and recreational fishing are impacting on many species, further sharpens our resolve to do something.
So, with your purchase from us, you’ll get your very own Hector’s Dolphin. You can even give it a name. And just to remind you of what a good cause you are helping with, you’ll get a Hector’s Dolphin adoption pack, with certificate, poster and information sheets, and a little furry Hector’s Dolphin to take pride of place on your hi-fi or cinema system.
Little Gifts with a big heart.The WWF Hector Dolphin adoption pack makes a wonderful gift. You are welcome to purchase these from us. NZ$ 30 for the Adoption pack with all proceeds going to WWF. Please add another NZ$ 5 for our postage and packaging costs. Email your order.
We’d like to think that you will buy from us simply because we offer you the best products, good value for money and help you with worthwhile information. But if we can also do something worthwhile along the way it is a good thing, and in a world of rampant consumerism this might appeal to you. Even if you don’t make a purchase from us – why not take up the challenge of helping the Hector’s Dolphins – just click on the banner below to find out more.
