~The Riverine rabbit earrings~ This little nocturnal rabbit can only be found in the Karoo regions and is currently the most endangered mammal in South Africa. It only lives in the deep silt flood plains of seasonal Karoo rivers and can't be found anywhere else in the world, making them incredibly vulnerable to habitat loss. A unique aspect of its biology is that females can only produce one offspring per year, this contributes to how it is classified as critically endangered. International Union of Conservation of Nature Red List status: Critically endangered Major threats: Loss of habitat due to cultivation & livestock farming. How can you help? 1. Contact the Endangered Wildlife Trust if you live in the Karoo and you spot riverine rabbits. The more knowledge they have about their population and distribution, the easier it gets to protect them. 2. Make a donation toward the Riverine Conservation Programme. At Easter, Lindt Chocolate donates a certain % of each bunny purchased to conserving the riverine rabbit. The earringsare made of leather &sterling silver for only R255.00 & available in 3 natural leather colours. #riverinerabbitearrings #endangeredspeciesawareness #southafricaendangeredanimals #dptendangeredcollection #genuinleatherearrings #sterlingsilverearrings #handcutjewellery #handmadeaccessoriesandearrings #exclusivejewellery #exclusivefromdptdesignsbymaninemurray #oneofakindearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/BzvK9esnsrL/?igshid=1mccfkv34mf9r
