Canada’s Mountain Whistler

High in the alpine meadows of Vancouver Island, a whistle pierces the mountain air - the call of Canada’s most endangered mammal. Vancouver Island marmots exist nowhere else on Earth, perfectly adapted to their island home’s unique ecosystem. Once down to just 30 individuals, their recovery story shows what’s possible when communities, scientists, and students work together. But climate change and habitat fragmentation continue to threaten their mountaintop world. This pin represents Canadian conservation at its best: protecting something irreplaceable that belongs only to us.

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.
