Beautiful Fair-Trade Handwoven Artisan Nesters from Wildlife World

The stunning new artisan wild bird nester range made from seagrass and recycled saris are Fair-Trade products that help the disadvantaged women in Bangladesh who make them by hand.

25th January 2021, Wildlife World, based in Chavenage, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire is championing Fair-Trade, fair wages and environmental responsibility with its Artisan nesters released last October. The handmade nesters are made with renewable and recycled materials and create opportunities for economically disadvantaged women in Bangladesh.

Mark Pitman, General Manager at Wildlife World, explains; “We are very proud to introduce the Fair-Trade Artisan Nesters to our product line. Working with organisations that positively influence the world we live in is something we strive to do as often as possible at Wildlife World. The conservation charities we work with significantly impact nature, whereas organisations such as the WFTO have an equally important role in helping those less fortunate in the developing world.”

Working with a Not-for-Profit World Fair-Trade Organisation supplier guarantees that the Wildlife Worlds Artisan Nester range focuses on social enterprises that put the artisans’ interests first. The WFTO directly impacts over 950,000 livelihoods by supporting them through their affiliated enterprises’ operations and supply chains. These enterprises transform local communities, pioneer upcycling, empower women, with over 70% of the workers and artisans being women, champion refugee rights and practice organic farming. Wildlife World has had conservation at the heart of their ethics for over 20 years. Using recycled materials where possible, FSC certified timber, renewable energy and supporting a range of wildlife charities and rewilding projects.

Mark continues; “We’ve already experienced a lot of interest in our Artisan Nesters. Customers find them beautiful, functional and love the fact that they are supporting the women who make them with every purchase.”
