"what you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make"




Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?


Many species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects and so on, are highly endangered.

The animals featured in these charming patterns to make these animals will help to spread awareness of the plight of these and other endangered species and encourage people to do their bit to create a better world for future generations.
