APES CIC educational visits bring the wonders of exotic wildlife directly to the venue, whether that is a school, college, youth club, care home or community group. The live public copy describes experienced animal educators arriving with a diverse selection of safely handled species and offering age-appropriate talks on biology, behaviour and habitat.
Through hands-on encounters and interactive questions, the aim is to build appreciation for animal welfare, highlight the risks of the illegal wildlife trade and encourage conservation-minded care.
