Ontario’s Misunderstood Guardian

In the wetlands and grasslands of Ontario, a small rattlesnake quietly goes about the important work of controlling rodent populations and maintaining ecosystem balance. The eastern massasauga - Ontario’s only venomous snake - is more afraid of you than you are of it, preferring to hide rather than fight. But fear and habitat destruction have pushed this shy species toward extinction in Canada. This pin challenges misconceptions and celebrates the beauty of misunderstood creatures who play vital roles in healthy ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How were the species chosen for the series?

The species were carefully researched and selected by students based on their official conservation status (like Critically Endangered or Endangered), their importance to North American ecosystems, and their power to tell a larger story about the challenges facing wildlife today.

Where exactly do the profits go?

100% of the profits are donated to registered and licensed partner organizations. We prioritize established wildlife sanctuaries that specialize in rescue and rehabilitation, as well as land conservation groups that work to protect the specific habitats of the animals featured in our series. We publish a transparency report on our campaign page annually.

Will you be releasing more species in the future?

That's the plan! The goal of "Voices of the Wild" is to grow into an ongoing series that highlights more animals in need. Sales from this first edition will help fund the creation of the next series. Follow us on social media to vote on which species we feature next!

Is the packaging suitable for a gift?

Absolutely. Each pin is attached to its beautifully designed fact card and packaged with care, making it a thoughtful and meaningful gift right out of the box. It’s perfect for students, teachers, nature lovers, and anyone passionate about conservation.
