THE EXTINCTION PINS
$5 from every single Extinction Pin goes directly towards environmental causes such as WildEarth Guardians
(you’ll find more information about them below!).
Extinction pins are only available in gold with black enamel, and in very limited quantities. Once a pin design “goes extinct” its mold is destroyed; it can never be made again.
