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!
White Rhinos
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 Arabian Oryx
The Arabian Oryx is a real-life unicorn with two horns instead of one, and is now a success story! This striking Middle Eastern Antelope lives just 15 years and is built to resist the extreme heat of the Arabian deserts. Its white coat reflects the sun, and its two wide, cloven hooves help it to walk across rocky desert terrain. With multiple stomachs, it digests tough grasses and roots, squeezing every drop of nutrition it can from its sparse diet. Oryx can detect rain from over 100kms away, using their sharp sense of smell, Sadly, these highly evolved unicorns were hunted to extinction in the wild—saved by captive breeding in zoos. Today, over 850 Oryx roam free, in the Middle East. Now protected, the Arabian Oryx is an example of acting before it's too late, to preserve a species.

Pink Lakes
There are 2 Pink Lakes in Western Australia, Lake Hillier and Lake Esperance. Esperance is no longer pink. Our bracelet symbolizes Hiller. Lake Hillier in Western Australia is a natural wonder, one of Nature’s pink lakes. Sitting on small island in the Indian Ocean, Middle Island, the lake measures just 600 meters long. Experts still debate the precise reason why she’s pink, all linked to its incredibly high salt content and the combination of algae (cellular plants) and bacteria (living cells with DNA) who cohabit the lake and whose colors and secretions turn Lake Hiller Pink. Lake Esperance, another pink lake in Western Australia, is no longer pink due to over harvesting of its salt, an example of the damaging effects of human interventions in Nature. Pink Lake Hillier lies beyond human intervention, an elegant reminder to us all of the enduring beauty offered to us by Nature.

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.
Loggerhead Sea Turtle Population
Loggerhead Sea Turtles are so called because of their large or log heads, which support bone crushing jaws to feed on hard shell creatures like sea urchins. Loggerheads live across the world in the Mediterranean Pacific, and warmer oceans and seas. They nest on beaches and the warmer the sand the more females are born, upsetting the balance of the species. They are also threatened by fishing nets, plastic bags and damage to their nesting beaches, the population is decreasing. Every two to three years females return to the beaches where they were born to nest, which means taking a dangerous journey of over 12,000 miles. That’s a long journey with many dangers today, so it’s no wonder their population is in decline. There could be as few as 36,000 nesting female Loggerheads remaining in 2015.
Sea turtles can't retract their heads and legs into their bodies, so their shells aren't really homes as such, more like a shield. And it's this armour that's helped them to become one of the oldest living species on the planet today - turtles were trawling the world's oceans over 100 million years ago when T-Rex was hunting dinosaurs on land. Sadly their shield is no match for the threats humanity has introduced into the oceans including plastic bags which they eat mistaking them for jellyfish (their favourite food); discarded fishing nets, which they get caught up in and drown and, of course, they are hunted for meat. But it's Global Warming that will likely determine their destiny. In the oceans, warmer waters are bleaching the reefs destroying the turtles' natural habitats, and on land, the hotter sands in which turtles lay their eggs are producing more female than male turtles. The heat of the sand in which the eggs gestate determines the sex of the hatchlings and, the warmer it gets, the fewer females and the fewer eggs in future. People, the seas and the lands all seem totally aligned against these gorgeous little creatures who've been around forever.

Bee Population
There are over 20,000 species of Bees, but don't let that fool you, the total population has declined by over 87% in last few years thanks to fewer flowers, deforestation, and pesticides. We are destroying their habitats, yet bees are responsible for pollinating crops that make up about a third - 33% - of all the food we eat. And they work hard! Bees fly the equivalent of 3x around the world to produce 1 Kg of honey and they must visit almost 500,000 flowers to produce that Kg of honey! 1 bee alone only produces 5 grams or 1 teaspoon of honey in their lifetime - so it takes the lives of 200 bees to produce 1 Kg of honey! It takes 4,000 bees to weigh 1 Kg. And bees are tidy, they clean and groom each other and the hexagonal honeycomb is the most efficient shape in the world. We may cease to be without our hardworking bees!
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.
