A more recent find among Seahorses is the striking and beautiful Zebra Seahorse discovered among the coral reefs off Queensland, Australia. However very little data is available as studies are still being conducted.

Its status is at this early stage uncertain but may be classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List in time to come. What is known is, like many other seahorse species the male carries the eggs in a brood pouch formed under the tail. The male in other words becomes pregnant after the female deposits her eggs in his pouch where he fertilizes, protects and nourishes them.

Camouflage is how the Zebra Seahorse protects itself from being preyed upon or harvested for traditional medicines or aquariums.

We believe ignorance is the enemy and knowledge the opportunity, so for every Living Endangered piece sold 5% of the purchase price will go to the Wilderness Foundation. This way we hope these less significant species may one day attract the attention they deserve. To learn more about the Zebra Seahorse and other Living Endangered species please visit our website.

Fall in love with the wild and become its keeper

In the end a lifestyle accessory is not about physical adornment.  Neither is it about gold, silk or diamonds.  A fine handmade accessory is emotional, sensual and sentimental, a friend that takes you beyond pleasure to the more permanent realms of gratification.
 
We try to make extraordinary things that move people, beautiful to an eye but even more alluring in their ability to bring life to life.

We take you deep into the wild, where the unsung draw breath.  There at the intersection of art and natures edge is a distant call and an understanding that living endangered merely reflects our own fate.  Sleeves aren’t the only place to wear a heart.

When we fall in love with the wild we naturally become its keeper.  An appreciation of the endangered edge makes us realise just how much of the wild man has already stolen and how much more will be taken from future generations.  

Threatened species can survive because beautiful people and beautiful things will not let them go. Living Endangered animates life.

“In the last 50 years our population has doubled but we have lost 25% of our land species and almost 30% of marine and freshwater species. This is the fastest and greatest rate of biodiversity loss since the extinction of the dinosaurs.”

Andrew Muir
Executive Director of the Wilderness Foundation

It is now very clear that to save the world we have to save the wild. But of the seven billion people covering the earth how many really care if a shy little frog living on the slopes of iconic Table Mountain, is almost extinct? About as many as know it even exists and that is a mere handful.

In essence this concedes the mammoth task of preserving our biodiversity. When we understand just how many species are going the way of the Dodo, unassumingly quietly, without even a whimper, it is perhaps time to give that little frog and others a voice from the wilderness.

Man is responsible for the theft of the wild both from nature and future generations. So those unknown and unnoticed in the wild need to join the Rhino in a call for humans to understand the critical dilemma facing the survival of all species.

Living Endangered has given a few near extinct species a voice in the form fine pieces of adornment, statements that will be carried by people who care. We give to the Wilderness Foundation five percent of the sale of every accessory to continue their fight to preserve wild lands and wild oceans. These are professionals who promote the importance of leadership and knowledge in dealing with the nature.

Biospheres will only survive if people, especially those who live near wild spaces, derive a greater benefit from preserving them than destroying them.

Beautiful people and beautiful things will not let them go.
