Sometimes they will work with a professional costume making company, or other times they work with local seamstresses to sew a costume, whatever is available at the site. In fact, I was just walking into a meeting in Washington with a Curassow costume from Nicaragua that we were using for a presentation on Pride, and ran into a former Rare colleague from over 15 years ago standing on the street with ANOTHER costume of a Leatherback turtle from the same costume maker in Mexico! Small world, eh? Each campaign manager arranges for a costume of their flagship species to be made locally—Cesar’s was made in Lima.

It's adorable. There are many cool-looking costumes that Rare uses. Who makes the costumes for your campaigns? They look very professional, so I don't think the campaign managers make them, do they?
