At APES, standing still simply is not an option.
As we continue strengthening infrastructure across APES CIC and its divisions, we are preparing to launch and update several key platforms and programmes designed to expand our educational impact, improve accessibility, and deliver measurable welfare outcomes.
Here is what is coming next.
🔬 APES Science – Where Evidence Leads
We are developing APES Science, an exclusive new website dedicated entirely to Exotic Animal Science.
This is not a blog.
This is not general interest content.
This is structured, science-led publishing.
What to expect:
Research reports
Scientific papers
Technical briefings
Species-specific studies
Venom analysis
Comparative anatomy
Welfare science and behavioural research
If your interest is evidence-based exotic animal knowledge, this is your platform.
Subscription: From £3 per month
Launch date: To be confirmed
We are building this carefully. When we launch, it will be ready.
📰 APES Magazine – Staying Right Where It Belongs
APES Magazine will remain exactly where it started:
👉 https://magazine.apes.org.uk
It continues to provide:
Fun and engaging animal content
Interesting species spotlights
Welfare discussions
Educational articles
Multi-species coverage across the animal kingdom
We now offer:
Free access tier
Paid subscription tier
The magazine serves a different purpose to APES Science. It remains accessible, educational and community-focused.
And yes, we are keeping it right where our readers know to find it.
🌐 MyAPES – A Clean, Streamlined Upgrade
Our MyAPES portal is undergoing a refresh.
We are:
Fixing and updating all public-facing links
Improving navigation
Modernising the look and feel
Enhancing user experience
The goal is simple:
Clear access to every APES service without confusion.
Because if you cannot find it, you cannot use it.
🐒 APES Shelter & Rescue – Primate Education Programme
In honour of our latest primate arrival and our long-term commitment to all exotic species in our care, APES Shelter & Rescue is launching something significant.
We are developing a dedicated Primate Education Programme.
This will include:
A structured training course
Welfare-based care standards
Realistic commitment education
Husbandry expectations
Ethical responsibility guidance
Let us be clear: primates are not entry-level pets.
They are complex, intelligent, socially demanding animals.
If someone is determined to keep one, they must understand what that actually means.
More detailed information will be released once development milestones are met.
🤝 APES Donor & APES Members – One Unified Platform
Two platforms. One destination.
Both:
Will soon redirect to a single, unified website.
This means:
Donors and Members together
Centralised access
Improved account management
Clearer communication
Stronger community integration
Infrastructure consolidation reduces fragmentation and improves operational resilience.
Further updates will follow once final migration plans are confirmed.
📈 Why This Matters
This is not about adding “more websites.”
This is about:
Strengthening education
Delivering science properly
Supporting responsible ownership
Improving user experience
Building long-term sustainability
APES is evolving. Intentionally. Strategically.
We appreciate every supporter, donor, member, reader, student, and volunteer who grows with us.
More updates will follow soon.

The next phase of APES is already underway.
Until the next post, thanks for reading and have a great night.
