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, in William Shakespeare's words,'Thanks. And thanks and ever thanks. . . '

Polar Bears

Polar Bears are the largest carnivores in the world and are classified as ‘marine mammals. They can swim for days at a time and are called 'Polar' because they only live in the Arctic at the North Pole. With their habitat at risk from global warming (melting ice) and invasion by oil companies food is also scarce and only 2 in every 100 hunts for food are successful. There are now just 26,000 Polar Bears left. With their blue tongues, black skin and white fur, these magnificent bears grow up to 800 kgs, the weight of 10 men!  Magnificence it seems is no guarantee of survival.

The Australian Gouldian Finch

The Australian Gouldian Finch, also called the Rainbow Finch or Lady Finch, is one of the most beautiful small birds in the world. Native to Australia these beauties are found in the Northern Territories and Kimberly in particular. Their population has declined from hundreds of thousands to just 2,400 today. They are proof positive of the decline in Aussie woodland ecosystems through deforestation and bushfires. Finches live up to 6 years, they stick with their partner for life and seasonally produce 4 – 8 eggs with the young leaving the nest in just 40 days to live their own lives. Beauty, it seems, is no guarantee of survival!

The African Forest Elephant

Although there are still 355,000 elephants remaining, they are declining at a rate of 8% a year making their extinction imminent, and that is why they are endangered. We lost 144,000 elephants between 2007 and 2014. African Forest Elephants have been hunted for years with their ivory tusks the principal goal.

Black Jaguars

Black Jaguars, Black Panthers, and Black Leopards are all the same animal and which is called the “Ghost of the Forest” because of their color and stealth. Not only are they incredibly beautiful, Black Jaguars are supreme triathletes and can swim, run and climb trees with equal grace and ease. And, if that wasn’t enough, the Jaguar has the most powerful jaws of all the big cats including Tigers. With so much going for them, is it any surprise that by one means or other (deforestation being prime among them) humans have now reduced the global population of Black Jaguars to less than 600!

 Giant Pandas

Bears are well known for their courage and fearlessness, but the black and white Giant Panda is an exception. These 250 lbs (100 kg plus) cuddly bears are vegetarians and spend 14 hours a day sitting around eating bamboo; it’s not very nutritious, so they need to eat a lot of it, 85 pounds or about a third of their body weight every single day! This extraordinary diet means they poop 40 times a day losing 60 pounds of the bamboo they eat to the forest floor. Giant Pandas basically eat, poop and sleep. That said, who couldn't look at a big cuddly Giant Panda all day!

These big cutees are endangered with only 1,864 left on the planet thanks to deforestation and other manmade threats. Think of them and smile when you look at your black and white Giant Panda Band of Courage.

 Hawksbill Sea Turtles

Hawksbill Sea Turtles have narrow and pointed mouths which look like the beak of a hawk. They are the smallest of the sea turtles, growing 2 to 3 feet long and weighing a massive (for its size) 100 pounds owing to the weight of its shell. There are now just around 8,000 nesting Hawksbills left in the world spread across 5 populations. They are hunted for their shells and meat, and killed by the 640,000 tons of ‘ghost fishing nets’ abandoned by fishermen in the sea every year. When you think that thousands of turtles are killed every year, you can see why the Hawksbill is now a 'critically endangered' species i.e. on the verge of extinction, and we must save them!

We've created a bracelet capturing the colours of the Hawksbill's shell - the hues of browns and greens it collects on this armour plating as it migrates around the world. The Hawksbill looks almost iridescent after swimming perhaps millions of miles in the deep. Whilst great travelers, their habitats are the world's coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world, is a favorite  Celebrate this wonderful creature who is over 100 million years old - they have been on the planet a lot longer than us! 

Sea Turtles

Sea turtles can't retract their heads and legs into their bodies, so their shells aren't really homes as such, more like an armored shield. And its 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 as introduced into the oceans including plastic bags which they eat mistaking them for jelly fish (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 male than female 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.
