This initiative is a cornerstone of SM’s partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) under the “Save from Extinction” campaign launched in October 2024. Meant to raise awareness and generate much-needed funds, the campaign shines a spotlight on these species, which face critical threats to their survival due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.

DENR has also partnered with wildlife conservation groups to safeguard these animals, such as the Forest Foundation Philippines, Katala Foundation, Philippine Eagle Foundation, World Wide Fund for Nature–Philippines, D’Aboville Foundation, and the Zoological Society of London. Proceeds from every purchase in this collection will directly support the conservation programs of the DENR and its partner NGOs.

In addition to the merchandise, Banco De Oro (BDO) Unibank, Inc., a key partner in the campaign, is offering donation channels to make it easier for the public to contribute. The public canmake donations through BDO ATMs and branches nationwide, as well as through the BDO Online app. All collected funds will go to the partner NGOs dedicated to the conservation of these species.

The exclusive Save from Extinction merchandise is available at select SM malls. Turn compassion into action and join the fight to save endangered wildlife.
