For 100 years, from the mid-19th Century, natural history was the
premier British hobby. Over the last 50 years it has declined in
popularity for a number of reasons, most notably that killing
living creatures for a hobby is quite rightly no longer seen as
ethical. With the technological advances of the 21st Century,
however, everything has changed. With a digital camera one can have
a butterfly collection for example, and with the advent of cheap
air travel, places once only accessible by the Gerald Durrells of
this world, can be visited by everybody. Suddenly, the amateur
naturalist can come into his, or her, own, and there has never been
a better time for people to get involved. Amateur naturalists
across the world are carrying out valuable research, and
participating in essential breeding programmes. If you are
interested, this magazine is for you.
Initially coming out four times a year, the magazine will
feature authoritative articles on keeping herps and inverts, the
more unusual fish, and even exotic mammals and birds. However,
although we intend to be the definitive magazine for those who
believe in the responsible keeping of exotic pets, we want to do
more than that.
