To clarify, Cocoa Mulch is harmful to pets if ingested. I’ve received several emails about this lately, so we thought we would investigate.
The mulch, sold at home and garden centres is made from cocoa bean shell, which contains theobromine, most commonly found in chocolate. Dogs, in particular, are likely to ingest it as it smells like chocolate [...]

How to get on an elephant … and other useful tips

Over the years, as editor of Adore Animals Magazine I’ve published a number of stories on elephants (some are now on this site). For me, they’ve always held a particular attraction, so for month of June, I’m heading overseas to hang with the elephants in Laos and Thailand.  This is a personal trip – no official Foundation business – although I [...]

Funds from the book have already gone to Animal Aid to help with hands-on bushfire animal recovery and now we’re currently finalising these four local projects, which will all be funded by the [...]

A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the Chengdu Panda Research Centre in Sichuan, China. In fact, I went every day while in Chengdu, so fascinating were these Giant Pandas and their distant relatives the Red Panda, who are also at the centre.
