When she tried to fish it out with her hands, she found it unraveled into an unending string. She was then inspired to weave the thread into fabric and raise silkworms for their cocoons. Or so the legend goes. No one is certain of who discovered the process of making silk (known as sericulture), but the empress Lei Zu is known as the Goddess of Silkworms in China, and was worshiped for thousands of years. In fact, the old tradition of honoring her is still kept in certain parts of China.We do know that silk has been made for nearly 5000 years, and was a vigilantly kept secret in China for thousands of years. Red Butterfly: How a Princess Smuggled the Secret of Silk Out of China by Deborah Noyes. This story is told with poetic, repetitive text, and winsome illustrations.

Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development. Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.
