Endangered Wildlife

Continuing our emotional Endangered Wildlife trilogy 2008-2010, Swarovski is pleased to introduce the second Annual Edition, Gorillas.

In this fascinating rendition, designer Anton Hirzinger has created two unique, exceptionally brilliant, crystal figurines in fully faceted Black Diamond crystal. The gorilla mother and her baby represent gentle nurturing and caring whilst making quite an imposing statement.

The Title Plaque for the entire trilogy 2008 - 2010 features the paw prints of the three animals represented in the trilogy. Other related products include an additional Gorilla Cub and Charm Bracelet. The mountain gorilla is one of the most endangered large mammals of our planet. By improving the managing of water resources along the Nile in Uganda, around the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the Swarovski Water School aims to benefit the inhabitants and wildlife Ð including the endangered gorillas. Through the Living Nile Project, the Water School initiative will involve approximately 20 schools in several parishes in Uganda.

Since 2008, the SCS has been joining the company's mission for sustainable water management through education. In 2009, the purchase of SCS Membership, Annual Editions and other related SCS products, will provide contributions to be made to Living Nile Project.
