Adopting a cockroach is for a good cause

The action may make you smile, but the cause is noble. The amounts collected will be automatically donated to the Wildlife Conservation Society. It is an association that aims to protect biodiversity around the world. So, you can do this for fun, but on the other hand, you can contribute to the well-being of the planet. It is even possible to go further by participating on February 10 in the “Roach Romance” (the romance of the cockroach). There you can meet members of the society and learn more about protected species, while tasting delicious chocolates and wine. You will learn more, particularly about the importance of insects in chocolate production. Just to stay within the original theme.
