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.

Heart Reef 

This unique bracelet is inspired by Heart Reef, a naturally formed coral reef creating an island in the shape of a heart found on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The only heart shaped reef in the world, it measures just 17 meters across. Heart Reef is a living animal made up of trillions of tiny polyps living within the calcium corals, which look like flowers, or 'the rain forests of the seas' as they are often called. When sea temperatures rise 1 degree or more above average, the animal polyps are shocked and forced to leave their coral skeleton home. 90% of the coral skeleton's food is provided by it's resident polyps and if the polyps are away too long the reef starts to bleach and then die! Climate Change is heating the seas, its changing weather patterns and therefore ocean currents, upsetting order within the oceans, and too often killing lifeforms which can't adapt fast enough. Taking over 200 million years to form, this iconic Australian reef is a symbol of enduring love.

The West African Lion 

The West African Lion is critically endangered with just 400 animals left in the wild and 250 mature adults. This is less than 10% of the population that existed in 2013!  Why, because their environment is being lost and eroded and the lions are wondering into areas where they are hunted and killed by humans. Adult male lions weigh up to 400 pounds and eat a whopping 100 pounds of meat in one meal! They hunt mostly at night and love storms as the noise means their prey can't hear them. Lion's mains grow unto 8 inches in length, like human hair are used to attract mates, but also protect them when they are fighting other males for mates! 

Lion populations have decreased throughout Africa and Africa is the only place on earth where they can be found with one exception in India. There are around 20,000 lions of all types left - compare that with over 400,000 elephants of all types.

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.
