Hi everyone!

On 12 May, 2008, the 19th most deadly earthquake of all time hit the Sichuan province of China, with over 69, 000 people losing their lives. As well as this, over 375, 000 people were injured, and 18,222 are still listed as missing. The earthquake also left about 4.8 million people homeless.

Clearly, the toll on human life was huge and many tragedies occurred. But, sadly, humans were not the only ones that were impacted by the events of 12 May.

Many species of wildlife lost their lives too, as they tried to escape the ravages that the earth forced upon them. One of the saddest stories to come out of the Sichuan Earthquake, is that of the plight of the baby pandas, with many of the already critically endangered animals being injured, orphaned or left homeless amid the devastation.

• They are critically endangered and rely heavily on us as humans to care for their environment to ensure their survival as a species.
• Their diet is solely bamboo - our chosen fibre for the production of our range of fabrics and garments.
• They are a universally recognised image for conservation and environmentalism around the world.
• The fact that they are babies represents the nature of our company as a source of organic, eco-friendly baby and children's products.
• They are just so bloody cute!

• soft and cuddly - a perfect "comforter" item for your little ankle biter.
• perfect size for cuddling - not too small, but not too big either.
• better for your child - great for children with allergies and skin conditions due to their organic nature.
• better for the environment - a great way to help support the environment and of course the conservation of the Giant Panda.
