These carvings have been created using a tropical hard wood known suar wood Please note : We are using a stock photo to showcase this bear. This is a perfect example of the bear you will receive. They are all carved by the same gentleman thus only slight differences may be evident.

THIS CREATES A RELIABLE AND REGULAR CASH FLOW WHICH THEY REALLY DO DESERVE. IM SURE MANY OF YOU WILL BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT A LOT OF LARGE COMPANIES WHO SELL SIMILAR ITEMS TO OUR HAVE NEARLY ALWAYS HAD THEM PRODUCED FOR A VERY MINIMAL WAGE, RESULTING IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS SLAVE LABOUR*FACT* THESE PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITED BY MANY AND FORCED TO MAKE CARVINGS AND CRAFTS FOR A VERY MINIMAL WAGE TO SATISTFY GREEDY MIDDLEMEN. IS THIS FAIR ? BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO WORK FOR SO LITTLE, IT OFTEN RESULTS IN APPAULING WORK CONDITIONS NOT FIT FOR ANIMALS LET ALONE HARD WORKING DECENT PEOPLE. WE HAVE HAD FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE OF THESE SWEAT SHOPS USED BY LARGE COMPANIES AND TO BE HONEST ITS A VERY UPSETTING SITE THAT REALLY HAS MADE US CHANGE HOW WE SHOP FOR LIFE. WITH SIIREN BUYING DIRECTLY FROM THE CRAFTSMAN WE HAVE PROVEN TO BE PAYING THEM AN AVERAGE OF 4 X MORE THAN A MIDDLEMAN WOULD. THE SECOND PROBLEM SIIREN HAS WITNESSED IS ILLEGAL WOOD CUTTING. THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM THAT IS RUINING ANIMAL HABITATS AND PEOPLES LIVES. MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BUY PRODUCTS MADE FROM ILLEGAL UNLICENSED WOOD AS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, ITS CHEAPER TO PURCHASE. SIIREN LTD WILL ONLY EVER PURCHASE WOOD TAKEN FROM OUR OWN FUNDED PLANTATIONS & OTHER SUSTAINABLE SOURCES. WE ALWAYS ENSURE FOR EVERY TREE TAKEN THAT 6 MORE ARE PLANTED. WE EVEN LEND A HAND PLANTING THE TREES IN OUR PLANTATION WHEN WE VISIT. ALL TREES MUST HAVE A LICENSE BEFORE IT CAN BE CUT. THIS IS POLICED WITH A REQUIRED UNIQUE STAMP AND SERIAL NUMBER WHICH ACTS AS PROOF THAT THE WOOD IS UNDER LEGAL AND ENVIROMENTAL CONTROL. BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING FUNDS WE HAVE PROVIDED TO THE VILLAGES WE USE, OUR CRAFTSMAN NOW WORK IN FANTASTIC CONDITIONS. WE HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE THAT MOST OF THE CARVINGS WE BUY HAVE BEEN CRAFTED IN THE CARVERS OWN TRANQUIL GARDENS. WE HAVE FINALLY WITNESSED THESE HARD WORKING PEOPLE ENJOYING WORK INSTEAD OF WORKING TO SURVIVE. ITS VERY TOUCHING. SIIREN IS ONLY A TINY PART OF A MASSIVE WORLD TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO WANT TO BAG A BARGAIN, AND MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO TURN A BLIND EYE AS TO WHY AN AUCTION TRADER IS SELLING A FAIRTRADE SUSTAINABLE WOODEN BUDDHA FOR 99P !! IT IS SIMPLY OUR MISSION TO BRING YOU WONDERFUL HANDMADE ITEMS WHILST MAKING YOU AWARE THAT T... read more
