Description: This design features a close-up of a baby mountain Bongo antelope along with quote by Dale Jamieson from the book, Ethics on the Ark. The bongo image was created from a photo taken at RSCF, not ai. The quote reflects our ethic and how we believe animals in captivity deserve to be treated. Sales proceeds support the mountain bongo repatriation program.
Description: In 2000, RSCF was instrumental in created the first new national park of the millennium, the Morne Diablotin National Park on the Caribbean island of Dominica.

For over 30 years RSCF has worked to protect island endemics like the Sisserou.
Description: One of the rarest large mammals in Africa, the Mountain Bongo survives today only in fragmented pockets of Kenya's highland forest, its rust-red coat and ivory stripes rendered here beneath a blossoming tree, in the spirit of classical East Asian brushwork.

Description: Tuskers," or "Super Tuskers," are rare male African elephants with at least one tusk weighing over 100 pounds (45 kg).

Description: When word of Earth's rarest antelope reached the far corners of the galaxy, one curious visitor just had to see the mountain bongo for itself. Touching down under cover of night in a misty forest clearing, our alien friend extends a friendly greeting to one of the most endangered animals on the planet, because apparently, you don't need to be from Earth to know a majestic creature when you see one. Part sci-fi, part conservation love letter, this design brings a little cosmic whimsy to the very real mission of protecting mountain bongos from extinction. Every purchase supports RSCF's mountain bongo repatriation program. www.rarespecies.org
Description: The golden-lion tamarin is arguably one of the most recognized small primate from South America. The focus of a decades long conservation program that brought this small, orange monkey back from the brink of extinction. RSCF has worked with lion tamarins for over 30 years.
