Licensing

A licensing agreement with the Zoological Society of San Diego's trademarks and images not only benefits endangered wildlife, but it also contributes to the positive image of the companies that license with us. Licensees take pride in manufacturing and marketing products for a cause-related organization and consumers feel good about purchasing merchandise to benefit a worthy organization that is making a difference.
