Wild Republic, a company entrenched in the notion of sustainability, has been churning out a line of eco-conscious toys that do more than just entertain kids.

According to a KXAN report, Melissa Klubnik, the Global Vice-President of Wild Republic, shed light on the company's tight-knit collaboration with the science community, ensuring the impact of their toys doesn't leave deep footprints on the environment they aim to protect. The company's Green Guardian line is meticulous about factors like cord lengths, sharp edges, and even the plastic used in packaging.

More than just play, these toys have a mission. "The toys are designed to inspire children about nature, and about preserving the animals’ habitat," Klubnik told KXAN. From protecting bird domains to saving the gorilla's homeland in the Congo, Wild Republic's reach extends beyond the playroom. Each purchase of an animal toy from the rainforest collection even funnels cash directly into the conservation of these lush landscapes.

Though you won't find these environmentally aware critters in local zoo gift shops quite yet, Wild Republic is on the prowl to have them adopted in zoos far and wide, setting a new standard for the usually plastic-packed zoo souvenir stands. The Wild Republic website offers an ark-load of information on sustainability efforts, how to care for the plush toys, and how each purchase supports their greater environmental cause.

But Wild Republic's commitment doesn’t stop at the toy's lifecycle. Customers looking for help or wishing to know more about their creature companions can reach out to the company's support team with ease. As noted on the company's customer service page, there's a simple form to fill out for queries, and for more pressing eco-emergencies, an email address is provided. With children’s enlightenment and Earth’s well-being at the heart of its mission, Wild Republic is positioning itself as the go-to peddler of conservation-centric play.
