EK Magazine February 2021

In this issue, we catch up with Sean Collinson and Brian Stevens on breeding and caring for Emerald Tree Boas, we look at difference between the Amazon and Northern Emerald Tree Boas, and we investigate what the future might hold for this beautiful species.

We also learn about caring for Meerkats in captivity, and how there might be more to it than you think. Finally, Dr Suzanne Mills talks to us about her work with Clownfish in French Polynesia, and how important it is to nurture their habitat.

All that as well as Expert Opinions, Animal Facts, Species Spotlight, Exotic News and much more.

The motivation for creating Exotics Keeper Magazine was a determination to help, care for and protect exotic animals, with a charity component being part of the plan - eventually. Then, in April 2020, the crisis caused by the Covid-19 lockdown pushed the charity plans into fast-forward. Here's what happened next.

Despite the lockdown being lifted, zoos and exotic animal sanctuaries have been hit hard during the Coronavirus crisis. Following a period where zoos had no visitors, no fundraising events and nowhere near enough donations, many are still struggling to feed their animals. EK Fund has donated over ?3,000 to zoos, rehoming centres and wildlife parks over the last few months as part of the first funding project.

Over the coming months and years the EK Fund be selecting eligible and worthwhile charities, organisations and projects to donate to, keeping you up to date with campaigns and donations via their website and the Exotics Keeper Magazine.
