These two meerkats in a hot air balloon are hand-carved from Albesia wood, by one of our Fairtrade partners in Bali. Albesia is one of the fastest growing trees in the world and therefore is a perfect sustainable material - in some countries, it is even considered an invasive species, and having an incentive to cut back the trees is great for sustaining the local ecosystem.

Our full range of Albesia animals are great gifts for any age! The smaller sets are perfect for a couple, and the bigger sets make an excellent gift for a family - with larger parent animals, and smaller ones to represent the children. Whether you’re shopping for a meercat lover or a fan of something more exotic, we think these gifts are super cute, and they don’t cost the earth! Knowing that each animal is intricately hand-carved and painted makes it even more special.

Dimensions (l) 35cm x (w) 11 cm

Made in Bali by a family-run business founded in 1998, producing Albesia wooden handicrafts. Sales of this product not only provide security for workers in difficult times but allows artisans to provide a better life for their children, giving them opportunities, they would not have had before.
