Tree by tree - new habitat

Iceland is the least forested country in Europe, although it once had over 40% tree cover. The development of residential areas, livestock grazing, volcanic activities and the climate have caused a major environmental problem in Iceland: soil erosion.

Despite consistent forest protection and reforestation, currently only 2% (yes two) of the country is covered in vegetation.
That's why we support a forestry project where trees can be donated or planted yourself. One tree for every order , so we get closer to our goal with every seedling.

It is a matter close to our hearts to give something back to nature and the community of Iceland.

of the SEA LIFE TRUST in Vestmannaeyjar.

Puffin, Lundi or simply Puffin are the well-known names for a particularly cute bird species that can be found in the northern Atlantic and the western Arctic Ocean. Did you know that Iceland has the world's largest population of puffins and that they have been classified as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature?

From around mid-August, the young puffins leave their nest and fly towards the sea. They use the moon to orient themselves. The largest colony lives on the Westman Islands. At this time, the puffin patrol is in operation on the Westman Islands. All residents of Heimaey have boxes or crates in their houses to help disoriented nestlings. The lights of the city at night often irritate the little guys, so they ignore the light reflections on
the asphalt for the glittering sea surface and end up in the islanders' front gardens instead of in the water. The pufflins that need help are taken to the Sea Life Trust Puffin Rescue Center.

There, the puffins are examined, weighed and measured, and released again if they are in good health. Injured or malnourished young birds are cared for and fed in the rescue center until they can survive on their own at sea. An important facility for animal welfare and thank you to all the volunteers!

They help when it matters.

Slysavarnafélagið Landsbjörg is an emergency rescue service in Seyðisfjörður.
It is the national association of rescue teams and accident prevention departments in Iceland. The association was founded on October 2, 1999,

The activities aim to prevent accidents and save lives and valuables.
The team in Seyðisfjörður consists of around 15-20 volunteers who are available for missions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

But why in Seyðisfjörður, which has less than 1000 inhabitants? The number of tourists increases year after year. Opportunities for outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, canoeing, etc.) are varied in the fjord. However, the place is known for its ferry port, because the The only car ferry from the mainland anchors exactly in this place and the Rainbow Road.

This makes the work of volunteers all the more important.
The organization is financed entirely through donations. That's why we would like to donate part of the proceeds from the Seydis collection to local helpers so that they can continue to help people in need for a long time to come.
You are also welcome to make additional donations. The team will be happy in any case!

To protect Iceland's landscape & wilderness

The Golden Circle, called "Gullni hringurinn" in Icelandic, is the most visited route in the country.
Millions of tourists travel here every year and marvel at historical sites, hot springs, waterfalls and sometimes even the Northern Lights. But the Golden Circle is not the only tourist magnet on this unique island.

Due to the increasing number of tourism, it is of great importance that people and nature live in harmony.
That’s why we support the organization Landværður with part of the proceeds from the Gullni collection.

The Icelandic environmental organization Landværður, based in Reykjavík, was founded in 1969. In recent decades, Landværður's efforts have increasingly focused on protecting Iceland's unique wilderness and landscapes. Landværður's projects and actions serve, among other things, to fulfill and achieve the global goals.
