We have a new mascot – can you guess what he is yet?

Yes that’s right – a Badger!

We love him but he hasn’t got a name yet! Have you got any suggestions? Find us on facebook (just search for Badger Design) and let us know what you think… We’ll announce his name and you can see what he’s been up to on our facebook page (he has a much more exciting life than any of the rest of us!!!)

We thought we’d up date you all on our progress towards the 21st century!

Badger Design has joined facebook!

It’s a great way of finding out about our company news, new products, website updates and even possibly the odd special offer. So keep an eye on our updates and feel free to talk to us on our Wall.

For those of you who would like to follow us please find us, and like us! Then feel free to comment… Share your ideas… and generally introduce yourself to us. We’d love to see you!

Dehesa and montado support many species of flora and fauna

Discover why your corkback coasters can have a significant impact on Europe’s biodiversity.

An ancient and unique habitat

Dehesas (Spain) and montados (Portugal) are mixed farming systems, combining oak woodlands with livestock grazing and cereal cultivation, often interspersed by areas of scrub – heather, gorse, brooms, lavender, rock rose, strawberry trees etc.

Unlike other agro-forestry systems, it developed around the existing, primeval woodlands. Cork is the most economically valuable product. Spain and Portugal have more than half of the world’s cork oak woodlands, and produce around three quarters of the worlds cork. Natural wine corks represent about 90% of the economic value of the cork market.

‘a diverse, ancient woodland ecosystem based on native flora has developed’

The outer bark of a cork oak tree can be stripped every 9-14 years without harming the tree. Since the harvesting involves no logging, a diverse, ancient woodland ecosystem based on native flora has developed.

The oak trees and associated shrubs bind the soil, prevent erosion, and maintain the water table by protecting the soil from evaporation. The wildlife these forests support is unique, and includes the endangered Iberian lynx, the Spanish imperial eagle (with a world population of around 130 breeding pairs) and the Bonelli’s eagle.

What is at stake?

Removal of the native oak forests would destroy a habitat unique in the world. Its destruction would be comparable to turning Yellowstone National Park into a wheatfield.

Species such as the Spanish imperial eagle and the Iberian lynx would probably become extinct. Soil erosion, water evaporation and carbon dioxide emissions would increase.

Montados and dehesas and their important wildlife are also under pressure from powerful agribusinesses, building and real estate interests for tourism, and building of new dams, irrigation networks and highways. Falling cork prices would make it more difficult to resist these threats.

In Spain and Portugal the cork industry provides around 80,000 jobs – many local communities are virtually dependent on cork. As the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) puts it: ‘If the market demand for cork back coasters were to decrease significantly, the entire system could collapse’.

Current Royal Mail requirements are that “According to our Prohibited/Restricted list we do not accept magnetised items with a magnetic field strength of 0.159A/m or more at a distance of 2.1m from the outside of the package.”

We received the following information from our suppliers with reference to our magnetic material.

Certification for non-dangerous goods (non-hazardous)

We hereby certify that above captioned goods are non-hazardous materials for air transportation in any nature. The consignment is fully described by proper condition for carriage by air. We further hereby certify that the consignment is not classified as dangerous under 46 edition of the IATA dangerous Goods Regulation and refer to Page 498 PI.902 all applicable caner and governmental regulations.

The article is not restricted magnetized material, the maximum field strength at a distance of 2.1m (7ft) is less than 0.159A/m (0.002gauss) or there is no significant compass deflection (less than 0.5 degree).
