In July, 4 mountain gorillas were killed. The gorillas included the leader of the group, a silverback male, and three females.  It is not known who did this or why.  A female and an infant from this group are still missing. 

Aproximately 700 Mountain Gorillas remain in the wild. Mountain gorillas live in central Africa in the Democratic Republic of Congo,  Uganda and Rwanda.  Earlier this year three other mountain gorillas were killed - bringing the total number of mountain gorillas killed this year to seven.  

Mountain gorillas are critically endangered and the needless death of seven individuals in seven months, is an indescribable tragedy. Please help gorillas by supporting Gorilla Conservation. http://www.gorillas.org

Is this the fate of Yellowstone's Wolves?

Gray wolves were once eradicated from Yellowstone National Park. Twelve years ago, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reintroduced 66 wolves into the wildlands of central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. More than a thousand wolves now live in the wild, playing an important role in area ecosystems and local economies. But now this success story is at risk of becoming a horror story. Wolf-opponents in the Bush/Cheney Administration, Idaho and Wyoming are teaming up to kill the vast majority of these wolves. The Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition has begun a new petition drive to eliminate all wolves from Idaho. Even the wolves of Yellowstone Park could be shot on sight if they leave the safety of the park.
If you would like to help protect the wolves, please contact the
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

News - January - Intensive farming to blame for virulent virus.

Millions of turkeys, chickens and ducks spend their shortened lives crowded into dark, cramped sheds. They often suffer from crippling lameness, ulcerated feet and burns caused by the ammonia in their own excretions. Recent events in Suffolk, U.K have given many of us a rarely-seen glimpse inside the modern world of the factory farm.

This is the reality for millions of animals kept in intensive farming systems throughout the UK and the rest of the world in order to produce ever cheaper meat. It doesn't need to be this way. If you agree, please support the work of Compassion in World Farming.

Do you have any old tools or sewing kit items that are in good condition and that you no longer use? Tools are desperately need in Africa by people who are too poor to buy them. Renovated tools and sewing equipment can give young men, women and their families a chance to build a life for themselves.

The list of tools required, new and old, especially muscle-powered is almost endless. Axes, grinders, wire brushes, hammers, socket sets, plumbing/building/carpentry equipment, spanners, drill bits, planes and sewing machines, to name a few. Tools that are old and of good quality can be renovated if necessary.

Sewing kits are hand made and filled with items such as zips, buttons, cottons, fasteners, thimbles and scissors. If you have any tools or sewing kit items that you no longer use - they would be very much appreciated.

For further details please contact the above mentioned organisations or contact Su. Tel: 01725 516271 or Email su@natureinart.com

Tools for Self Reliance

Tools for Self Reliance is twenty years old this year. They need your help - to buy hammer handles and hacksaw blades, to ship tools to Africa, to recruit and train new volunteers, to work with their partners - honest effective local organisations with roots in the poorest communities.

Their partners in Africa are asking for more tools than they can provide right now. With your help, they will do more. You can help make those people to people links - to put tools into the hands of people building a better world.

"Africans believe in something that is difficult to render in English. We call it ubuntu or botho . It means the essence of being human. You know when it is there and when it is absent. It speaks about humanness, gentleness, hospitality, putting yourself out on behalf of others, being vulnerable. It embraces compassion and roughness. It recognises that my humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." - Desmond Tutu
