Beneficiaries

I am listing all organizations so you can have the opportunity to ponder which one of these collectible limited edition coasters, plates or trays, you might want to purchase to support one or more of these threatened and endangered species.  Or to purchase this one time only collection of all eleven species.  This is to Benefit Species across the Globe.

My favorite species and non profits are (noting the month they will be featured):
