We make sculptures and castings from most available metals as well as composites, stone and wood. Each sculpture can be made in any size.

Alpine ibex - a species that requires our attention

Although the Alpine ibex is not currently classified as an endangered species, it has been close to extinction in the past and still requires our protection. Here's why this majestic species needs our help and what we can do:

Causes of danger:

  1. Historical overfishing: In the 19th century, the species was on the verge of extinction due to intense hunting.
  2. Habitat loss: Tourism and infrastructure development in the Alps is limiting the ibex's natural habitat.
  3. Climate change: Global warming is affecting alpine ecosystems, changing food availability and living conditions.
  4. Competition with livestock: Cattle grazing in higher elevations can lead to competition for resources and food.
  5. Diseases: Close contact with farm animals increases the risk of disease transmission.

How we can help:

  1. Support habitat conservation: Donate or volunteer with organizations dedicated to protecting ecosystems.
  2. Responsible Tourism: When hiking in the mountains, respect ecotourism principles and avoid disturbing natural habitats.
  3. Education: Spreading knowledge about alpine ibexes and their importance for the alpine ecosystem.
  4. Supporting sustainable agriculture: Promoting agricultural practices that minimize conflicts between farm animals and wild species.
  5. Scientific research: Supporting research projects monitoring ibex populations.
  6. Reducing your carbon footprint: Taking action to reduce CO2 emissions to slow climate change.
  7. Legislation: Supporting legislative initiatives to protect alpine species and their habitats.

Let us remember that protecting the Alpine ibex is not only protecting one species, but the entire mountain ecosystem. Every action we take, even the smallest, can contribute to preserving this majestic animal for future generations.
