Hand Painted Wooden Giraffe
You may want this as a children's toy or for yourself. I have a pair looking at each other in my kitchen. This is about as close as I can get to an African Safari at the moment so, why not?
This cheerful little 'friend' (or toy but not for under threes please) is made of Albesia wood( which, of course, is sustainable and fast growing) and is hand painted in Bali by fairly paid workers so ticks all our boxes.
Albesia Wood: It is a fast growing tree species that can be harvested within 3-5 years. The trees can easily grow in different climates and terrains such as in the highlands and lowlands, in high rainfall areas or in areas where rainfall is low, on flat land or sloping ground, in good soil or in sandy soil. Growing Albesia trees can help reforestation of critical land, preventing soil erosion or landslides and maintaining the reserves of soil water.
Most Albesia trees are planted by local farmers due to its easy growth, thus it is very sustainable and earth friendly. Other than being sustainable, Albesia has helped as an additional income for the low income group of people in Indonesia. This has economic benefits for the country.
Made in Indonesia.
