Gabriel and Sebastian are celebrating their eighth birthday and instead of presents, they would like to ask people to donate to PTES, an international conservation charity, working to protect animals and their habitats.

Almost two thirds of UK species have declined in the past 50 years and one in ten faces the risk of extinction. Globally, it's estimated that between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct every year. There's nothing natural or inevitable about the alarming rate at which we are losing animals and their living landscapes. It is absolutely avoidable.

Gabriel and Sebastian are passionate about protecting animals facing extinction in vulnerable habitats, but we also know that passion is not enough and therefore they would like your help in form a donation.

Your support will make a real difference, helping us save and protect some of our most threatened species.

Thank you,

Gabriel and Sebastian.
