OneZoom: Sponsor a leaf on the tree

Sponsor the Foothill Arboreal Rice Rat (Oecomys superans) on the OneZoom Tree of Life

You can sponsor this leaf for yourself or as a unique gift for someone you know.

We will acknowledge your donation to the OneZoom charity by displaying your chosen sponsor’s name on the Foothill Arboreal Rice Rat (Oecomys superans). Your donations will help us in our aim to provide easy access to scientific knowledge about biodiversity and evolution, and raise awareness about the variety of life on earth together with the need to conserve it.

There can be only one sponsor for each leaf, so get your favourite creature before someone else does! Sponsorship is for a fixed period of 4 years; after that, if you wish to renew your sponsorship, you will have the first refusal.

Extra text (optional):

Extra text will only show when fully zoomed in; it can be used for your location, or to say who it’s from if you are sponsoring as a gift for another person (e.g. Happy Birthday from John Smith). The extra text will appear on our main tree at OneZoom.org/life, but may not necessarily be shown on versions elsewhere. We will check that the sponsorship text is appropriate, and contact you if there is a problem. This is not intended to be advertising so please do not include web links. Normally your text should appear on the tree within a week.

Your donation amount (£150 or greater for this leaf):

The minimum donation required for other leaves ranges from from £5 to £150 depending on popularity. If this leaf does not fit your budget consider our lists of animals and plants sorted by price to choose an alternative.

More information about this image

*The final leaf may be facing in any direction on the tree, it may also change based on scientific advances. This preview uses the plain green colour scheme, but this can be changed by visitors using the tree of life explorer, so might not always appear as it does above.

If you fancy something different, you can search for other available species, or simply browse the tree of life and see what you like.
