Q: Are the funds from each gift sold directed to that specific conservation program?
A: Yes, funds are tied to the conservation program featured on the card. Should we sell gifts in excess of conservation program requirements, additional income will be used within the chosen conservation program for other needs.
Q: How will my funds be used if you sell too many of one particular gift?
A: Should we sell gifts in excess of conservation program requirements, additional income will be used within your chosen conservation program for other needs. For example, should the sale of rabbits exceed the ability to deliver rabbits to village families in Papua New Guinea, additional funds will be utilised within the Tenkile Conservation Alliance for other conservation activities.
