A new vision of Fur for an Eco-Conscious World
“Most people choose fur for warmth and beauty. Wearing fur also helps to protect nature, by supporting people who live on the land. Because they depend on nature for their livelihoods, trappers have a direct interest in protecting our forests and rivers. They are the first to sound the alarm when these vital wildlife habitats are threatened. For those of us who live in cities, they are our “eyes and ears” on the land. That’s one reason why the regulated and sustainable use of wildlife is supported by the international conservation authorities.” For more information, please visit www.FurIsgreen.com
