Pangolins are the world’s most trafficked mammals and are thereby pushed to extinction. Follow our Instagram for new designs and learn how we can help these rare creatures.

People have always underestimated the importance of healthy forests. They keep our climate stable. They are the world’s second-largest storehouse of carbon dioxide, after oceans. Forests release oxygen, regulate our water supply and improve its quality. They also provide habitat to more than half of the world’s land-based species. Sadly human impact has already led to the loss of around 40% of the world’s forests. And today, an area the size of a football pitch is still being destroyed every second.

In collaboration with WWF, Achilles and the Tortoise will soon launch the Basics Collection, which will be dedicated to flourishing forests.

The African wild dog is one of the world’s most endangered mammals. The largest populations remain in southern Africa and the southern part of East Africa. Wild dogs are social and gather in packs of around ten individuals, but some packs number more than 40. They are opportunistic predators that hunt medium-sized ruminants, such as gazelles. In a sprint, African wild dogs can reach speeds of more than 44 miles per hour.

The principal threat to African Wild Dogs is habitat fragmentation, which increases their contact with people and domestic animals, resulting in human-wildlife conflict and transmission of infectious disease.

Achilles and the Tortoise, Anthroe and WWF combine forces in this project. With this project we contribute to creating protected areas and protecting major wildlife corridors, because they benefit species such as the African wild dog.

With more than 50 million inhabitants Sumatra belongs to the biggest islands in the world. It holds some of the richest and diverse tropical forests of the planet. These forests produce drinking water, natural resources for livelihood and play an important part in the local culture. It’s also the only place on earth where the Rhino, Elephant, Tiger and Orangutan live together.

But these creatures are critically endangered as poachers hunt them for their skin and horns and catch them for entertainment and tourism purposes. Their forest homes are destroyed by commercial or illegal logging and being cut down to make way for palm oil plantations. There are fewer than 300 Sumatran Rhinos and fewer than 400 Sumatran Tigers in the wild!

Achilles and the Tortoise and Luwies started a collaboration to develop circular produced lifestyle items and help restore the habitat of the Sumatra Rhino, Elephant, Orangutan and Tiger.
