Polar Bears

Polar Bears are the largest carnivores in the world, a title once held by T-Rex and, uniquely for a bear, classified as ‘marine mammals' as they swim long distances. They are called ‘Polar’ because they only live at the Arctic North Pole. With their blue tongues, black skin and white fur, they grow to over 800kgs and 12 feet long! But being the biggest predator on the planet is no guarantee of survival. Global Warming is melting their home, the Arctic, at a rate of 13% every 10 years so they’ll have nowhere to live by 2100. Food is becoming scarce with only 2% of hunts being successful. There are just 26,000 Polar Bears left, let’s hope they don’t go the way of their forebears, T-Rex!

Olive Ridley Sea Turtles

It’s estimated there are around 800,000 Olive Ridley Sea Turtles which sounds a lot, but they are still endangered on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and vulnerable elsewhere. There used to be over 10 million! That gives you an idea of the dangers they face, ghost or discarded fishing nets, plastic bags which they think are food, climate change disrupting their breeding patterns with warmer beaches producing more females and, of course, people. Olive Ridley’s are the second smallest of the Sea Turtles and their shells are Olive coloured fused bone. Sea Turtles wear their bones on the outside! They have beaks, not teeth, made of Keratin, same as our nails, and Rhino horns. Sea Turtles have been around for over 100 million years and we’ve lost over 90% of them in the last 50.

Koalas

Koalas are very contrary animals! They are not bears, they are ‘marsupials’ - animals who carry their young in a belly-pouch, and baby Koalas are called Joeys. Koalas are native to Australia and they don't drink ('Koalas' is actually the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders' word meaning 'no drink'), and the food they eat, gum leaves, are poisonous! Laws forbid them from being kept as pets anywhere in the world because of their diet, still, there is little point as they sleep up to 22 hours a day! 

There used to be millions of Koalas and its thought could be as few as 43,000 left today. Despite being ‘vulnerable’ to extinction there aren’t any laws in force protecting their environment although many are trying to help. 

Your band creates jobs for the artisans who made it, and jobs for people who planted your trees; your trees provide a home for animals & recycle CO2 to combat global warming. We can't do this without you!

Population

There are 5 species of Rhino with populations - The Sumatran (30), The Javan (18), The Greater One-horned Rhino in India (2,100), The African Black (3,142) and The White Rhino which has 2 populations in Africa - The Northern Population (2) and the Southern population (10,078). Weighing over 3 tonnes, White Rhinos are the 2nd largest land animal after elephants and are named after the Africaan’s word ‘wyd’, which means wide, because of their square shaped lips. Their principal threat is being hunted for their horns which are prized for medicinal purposes. Their horns grow up to 7 cms (3 inches) a year and are made of Keratin, like our hair and nails. Their horns, their principal source of protection in Nature, has become their Achilles Heel where humans are concerned.

The Bengal Tiger 

The Bengal Tiger grows up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length and weighs up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds) or a third of a tonne. A bengal Tiger can eat up to a 10th of its body weight, 30 kilograms of meat, in a single meal - that would be like a man sitting down to eat a 20 pound hamburger (half a pound is considered a large meal with some chips!).

To give you an idea of their power, this enormous animal can jump over 10 meters (33 feet), longer than a London double-decker bus! Not surprisingly these hunters pose a considerable threat to those who trespass on their territory including humans.

Today there are less than 4,000 of these wonderful creatures left in the wild, living primarily in the Indian sub-continent where there are diminishing forests (caused by deforestation to make way for agriculture) and large and growing numbers of people. Hunting and conflict with humans in a shrinking environment where wildlife, the Tigers source of food, too is diminishing.
