I may look like I’m always smiling, but I really don’t feel like smiling. Sadly I am famous amongst people fighting to protect nature for being one of the 10 most threatened species on the planet.
I belong to the Pinnipedia family, which also comprises many other types of seals as well as walruses and sea lions. We all have similar diets: fish, crustaceans and even algae. But unlike most others who can be found in cold waters, I prefer the warm Mediterranean Sea.
Let’s get back to the problems I am facing, as they are many. My first worry is ignorance from some fishermen, who kill me thinking I am a competitor. However there are so few of us, roughly 600, that we eat nothing in comparison with how much men can fish! Overfishing is indeed a bane for all marine animals… Sea pollution represents another threat. It makes me sick and vulnerable to illnesses. The Mediterranean Sea is the most polluted sea in the world! There is also the ever increasing numbers of tourists on beaches, where I used to go to have my babies. I am being pushed out of my natural habitat: I am struggling to find secure nursery areas.
In short, I am in dire need of a helping hand from humans. I’m sure we can find a way to cohabit, but don’t leave it too late!
Our commitments

Sustainable development is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs", quote from Mrs. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norwegian Prime Minister (1987)
A word from David - Founder of coq en pâte

Since its creation, Coq en Pâte has been committed to making products of the highest possible quality that respect people and the environment.
Our textile pieces are made of organic cotton in India in certified workshops, the stationery and outdoor games are made in France, even in Brittany, from eco-materials or recycled materials.

Social commitment
Respect for suppliers
We choose our workshops with care, according to their know-how and the respect of the working conditions.
The workshops we work with are certified GOTS, SA 8000 or Sedex. These standards of social responsibility guarantee the respect of the fundamental rights of workers. Our clothes and accessories are made in India, toys and stationery in Brittany (France).
Our creations, essentially turned towards the endangered wildlife, wish to sensitize the young public and their relatives to the protection of an endangered biodiversity. Our commitments go further as we finance environmental education programs.
