Call For The Wild is not only a company whose products focus on endangered wildlife and spreading a message of conservation, the cause-based business funds the actual work of prominent conservation organizations.

Wildlife conservation is a key part of Call For The Wild through its products and hands-on involvement in rescue efforts and organizations.

“We formed Call For The Wild with the belief that business should be part of the solution to restoring Earth’s wildlife and wild places,” says Founder Billy Campisciano, whose involvement with rescue organizations and experience rescuing a stranded juvenile dolphin changed the course of his life. “We also believe that the experts, organizations, and facilities that are committed to doing the critical work of saving our planet should be focused on their mission and not spending their time fundraising.”

Merging these philosophies created the concept of Call For The Wild. Call For The Wild’s education and sustainable product offerings also further the cause. For example, its bestselling sea turtle hatchlings allow customers to symbolically adopt a turtle egg and hatch their own baby turtle. Each one comes with an educational information sheet and all components are made from recycled or sustainable materials.

Similarly, the company’s dolphin, shark, and manatee plush come with rescue stretchers and include species identification cards and a link to an animal education website.

“Our objective is to connect people to the organizations that help protect and restore wildlife and wild places,” says Campisciano. “We strive to educate, motivate, and fund the important work of wildlife rescue, research, and conservation.”
