Great Barrier Reef

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is to reefs what the Amazon is to rainforests, a massive colony of tiny polyps, trillions of living creatures we collectively call coral. Three-quarters of the world’s coral species can be found on the Reef. Sadly more than half the Reef has died since 2016 so the prospects for this, the world's largest living organism, look bleak. Our turquoise and white bracelet with its gold and pink bands reminds us of what its like to look into the waters around the reef and see this continent of colour, life and beauty.

Coral Reefs

Coral Reefs are the rainforests of the seas - massive habitats for animals supporting more than a quarter of all marine life as well as the hundreds of millions of people who rely on reefs around the world. But unlike rainforests, Coral Reefs are animals not plants, made up of millions of tiny little polyps. They are critical to the oceanic food chain supporting the phytoplankton, the small animals which absorb more than half the world's carbon dioxide and produce more than half its oxygen. Climate Change is one of their greatest threats as it heats up the sea which then bleaches the coral and kills it - in plain english, we are cooking our reefs.

The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is so called because it is made up of links or 'Lynx' and, like the gorgeous feline - the Iberian Lynx - it symbolises, its shades of gold. The Iberian Lynx lives on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and is also known as the Spanish Lynx. With a population of less than 100 at the beginning of the century, the Iberian Lynx is on the road to success with the current count around 2,000. They have a tawny gold coat and a beard which makes them look very cute indeed! Iberian Lynx's grow to about three feet or a metre and live amongst the trees!

The Leatherback Sea Turtle

The Leatherback Sea Turtle is the closest living relative to the dinosaur and the third heaviest reptile in the world (after two species of crocodile). They grow up to 7 feet long and can weigh 2,000 pounds, that's almost a tonne and they eat jelly fish! The population has declined by 40% since 1980 and there are just 25,000 nesting females left today after being on the planet for over 100 million years outliving every other species. Plastic bags, which they mistake for jellyfish, looks to be their nemesis. Our tempered glass tortoiseshell bracelet seeks to capture some of their magnificence in the colours especially as it captures the light. Leatherbacks, like other sea turtles, are greatly dependent on the Great Barrier Reef.

The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is so called because it's made up of links or 'Lynx' and, like the gorgeous feline - the Iberian Lynx - it symbolises, is shades of gold. The Iberian Lynx lives on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and is also known as the Spanish Lynx. It's the most endangered feline in the world today with a population of just 400 left on the planet. It was less than 100 at the beginning of the century, so things are looking up! They have a tawny gold coat and a beard which makes them look very cute indeed! Iberian Lynx's grow to about three feet or a metre and live amongst the trees!

Beluga Whales

Beluga whales are also known as the 'canary of the seas' because of the many, strange and wonderful noises they make communicating with each other. Their 'melon' heads also change shape as they communicate. Like Polar Bears they a dependent on the ice flows which they call home and from which they take shelter from Orcas and hunt themselves. With receding ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic Belgua populations are now threatened.  

Blue Whale

Blue whales are the loudest and largest of all animals on earth and speak to each other at 180 decibels of noise - a jet engine can only manage 140 decibels! With hearts the size of a Volkswagen Beatle car, Blue Whales weigh up to 150 tons (that's 30 elephants) and eat 4 tons of Krill, shrimp-like creatures, every day. They churn up the seas bringing essential nutrients like Krill, from down deep to the surface to feed and maintain all marine life. All farmers need a plough to grow their crops and the oceans are no different which is why we have Blue Whales, the agricultural ploughs of the oceans. Blue Whales dive to enormous depths and surface again, bringing with them all the wonderful nutrients that lie on the ocean's floors. We will lose at least 30% of the world's Krill this century due to climate change, and we've lost 90% of Blue Whales. Without Blue Whales, the world's oceans and seas would likely stagnate and with an lower estimate of 5,000 we may be in trouble. Once again we see the global food chain in peril. Our blue and gold banded bracelet celebrates their undoubted status as animal royalty.

The Spirit Bear

The Spirit Bear is also called the Kermode Bear, which is a subspecies of the Black Bear and lives in the coastal regions of British Columbia in Canada. Kermode Bears can be black or white, it's the white ones who are the so-called Spirit Bears. The Kermode Bear was given its name after a Canadian naturalist, Francis Kermode, which has now entered the vernacular as meaning 'black bear'. According to the Kitasoo legend, Raven, The Creator of the world, made a pact with the bears making every tenth bear white, to remind people of the ice age. This reminder of harsh times, when the world was decimated by ice, should be a reminder to us all of what could lie ahead lest we cure our ways and tidy up our planet.

The Iberian Lynx

The Iberian Lynx is a wild cat and one of the rarest felines in the world with just over 2,000 left on the planet. Lynxes have pointy black tipped ears, a tawny gold coat with black spots and a little goatee beard which makes them look very cute and very wise! Iberian Lynx's grown to about three feet or a meter in length, and they survive on rabbits and other small game. Also called the Spanish Lynx, they live in Spain and Portugal - on the Iberian Peninsula - and are an inspiring example of how we can help a species recover. The population of Lynxes has recovered from just 100 cats in 2002 to 2,021 today, thanks to the Spanish Government, the European Union and private groups working together! Showing us how it's done! Thank you. 

Tigers

The world's total Tiger population has shrunk by 96% in the last century with not more than 4,000 remaining, most of which live in India. 3 sub-species are now extinct and 5 remain, including the Siberian Tiger of which there are around 400 still living. The causes of this population loss are loss of habitat and poaching.  Tigers are solitary animals, although there is a name for a group of Tigers - an "ambush", which, of course, is how they hunt. Tigers are carnivores with adults weighing over 500 pounds and growing to ten feet in length! As babies, Tigers are born blind, and one in two survive living up to 25 years. Although Tigers are cats they can't purr and have their own language.
