Description
Transform your workspace into a showcase of some of the Philippines’ unique flora and fauna with this colorful illustrated desk mat. Not only will it protect your desk from scratches and spills, it also doubles as an extended mousepad. To inspire appreciation for our country’s biodiversity, each desk mat includes a free information card for easy species identification.
Sadly, most of these Philippine endemic flora and fauna are nearing extinction, but together, we can help with their conservation. For every purchase of the desk mat, a portion of profits will go to Talarak Foundation, an NGO dedicated to safeguarding a number of these species. Please check the Impact page to see updates on how your contribution is helping protect our country’s natural heritage.
Kindly note that all illustrations are artistic representations and are not intended to be 100% botanically or biologically accurate.
