CAROLINA WREN BIRD - FAIR TRADE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT - WOVEN BY PERUVIAN AMAZON ARTISAN
This unique fair-trade ornament represents the Carolina wren. It is a common type of wren whose range extends from northern Mexico through the eastern United States to southern Ontario, Canada and is the state bird of South Carolina. Its preferred habitat is dense forest, but it can also be found on the edges of farms and suburban areas feeding mostly insects and other invertebrates. Its subtle colors vary among seven sub-species through its extensive range, but this wren is best known for its beautiful songs which also vary a bit by region. It will look great hanging on your Christmas tree, rear-view mirror or adding a colorful touch to another part of your home.
This ornament was woven with chambira palm fiber by a native Amazon artisan. The sale of these ornaments supports forest conservation and helps meet local needs in traditional communities in Peru. These bird ornaments were made artisans from our partner artisans in the Maranon, Ampiyacu and Tahuayo River communities.
Each ornament comes with a tag listing the name and home of the artisan who made it and the plants used to make it. Please remember that each ornament is hand-made so the exact design may vary from the photo of this model.

Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
