We are proud to present the new spirit animals totem jewelry collection. Made in France. The start When we started Fauna about 1 year ago, we wanted to manufacture in France. But after some research into French manufacturers, the minimum quantities required and the cost didn't allow us to take such a risk.So we approached international manufacturers with general pet designs. This enabled us to test our concept, without taking a big financial risk, while keeping in mind our initial objective of manufacturing in France. Turning 8 months later and thanks to the enthusiasm and satisfaction surrounding our jewelry, we were able to approach the few French manufacturers to present our project. After travelling to the 4 corners of France and numerous negotiations, we found a partner to manufacture our jewelry. At the same time, we worked with a talented illustrator and the help of our community to create the design for our new collection. French manufacturing We are now proud to present the new spirit animals totem jewelry collection. These designs are our own and have been registered. All manufacturing is done in France: casting, pewter casting and plating are done by a family business near Marseille. We take care of assembly and shipping at our premises in Montreuil. Only the chains are made in Spain, as there are no longer any French manufacturers. But they are plated with gold or silver by our French manufacturer. The cords are also made in France from recycled clothing fibers and plastic by another partner in the Lot region. Novelties We'd like to introduce you to our new graphic identity and website, more in line with our values and mission. As you requested, a flyer describing the spirit animal is now in the parcel (in recycled paper, of course!). The jewel is placed on a paper card that has been seeded to give it a second life.We're listening to our community, and we'll be offering more new products in the near future... Commitments It's a source of great pride for us that, in addition to contributing to the animal cause through our awareness-raising and donations, we're also contributing to French know-how and local consumption, while respecting the planet with our eco-responsible approach (packaging, logistics...). Find out more about our commitments on this page.We hope to see you soon,Maori, Fauna founder

It's cold, the icy wind blows across the plains and mountains and nature bends under its staggering breath. Alone or in packs, the wolves run through the night, braving the natural world around them. Although wolves have been making a comeback for some time, they are rarely seen because they are fearful. Often hunted by man, the wolf has a long history of struggle and resistance. However, thanks to the 1993 Bern Convention, the wolf is now a protected species, so its history can evolve. If we think we know the wolf, we are far from imagining that it is more mysterious and complex than we can imagine. That's why Fauna would like to bring you this little focus on this mysterious and prestigious character of the forest and mountains. Wolves originally came to France from Italy. Today, even if the gray wolf is not threatened with extinction, due to its wide distribution across many territories, certain other wolf species are classified as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), and are thus in danger of extinction in certain regions of the globe, particularly in France. Why are wolves so endangered?  "I fought, I thought I'd won, but I'm still fighting": this is the story of the wolf, its adventure through the ages. For a long time, wolves were hunted by man in Western and Eastern Europe because they were considered dangerous. Indeed, many stories and legends led to the belief that wolves were dangerous. One of these is the story we all know and have read: "Little Red Riding Hood".But beyond that, it's important to understand that every species has its place in the world, and wolves are important, as France info tells us in its report, for 3 main reasons: 1. Ils régulent certaines espèces Wolves regulate species which, in excess, could harm biodiversity, such as deer or wild boars. In 1995, for example, the reintroduction of the wolf in Yellowstone park thus made it possible to reduce the number of wapitis which, before, destroyed large areas of vegetation, threatening the birds and the beavers who lived there. 2. They feed the ecosystem Wolves spread the carcasses of their prey over large areas, making it easier for eagles, lynxes, weasels, beetles and other scavengers to feed. These carcasses also benefit the soil. They provide nutrients such as nitrogen. 3. Killing pack leaders increases the risk of attack When the wolves killed are dominant males, this can lead to the dispersal of their pack. Lone wolves must then hunt alone, and are more likely to attack domestic animals. The wolf is still considered "endangered" in several regions, such as the Alps, Scandinavia and Germany. A number of organizations are now taking action to protect them: ASPAS, FERUS, Klan du Loup and the Society for the Protection of Wolves, all of which are fighting to protect wolves in Europe, and of which Fauna is a partner. Everyone is doing their bit to help, and this involvement gives us hope. A jewel, protection, facts, animals... Fauna's mission is to contribute to the protection of wolves while giving meaning through its spirit animal.
