What an inspiration! 20 years today the world lost Steve Irwin. I’m just one of the many people whose lives were changed forever by this amazing ‘Wildlife warrior’? Not sure what he would make of the world today but I know he would be incredibly proud of his families achievements. ❤️🐊🇦🇺🦘🌏

Yesterday evening I left my amazing animals at home to attend The Voice local hero awards ceremony with my beautiful wife where I was presented with the 2026 ‘Animal Welfare champion’ award! It was a real privilege to accept the award and extremely humbling to share the evening with some truly outstanding people who contribute so much to our community. I would like to thank the amazing team at Tarka Vets who sponsored my award, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you all. 😀🐍🦎🐢🪲🐸

Spread the word, all invertebrates are now welcome at the Really Wild Bug hotel at Affinity Devon Outlet Shopping. 🤣🐝🐞🐜🦗🦟🪰🦋🪲🕷️

🏆🐞 We’re proud to announce that Affinity Devon has won a Green Apple Award! 🍏🌿

Our Bug Hotel project, created in collaboration with Really Wild Planet, was recognised in the Environmental Best Practice – Environmental Improvement category. The project responds to the decline in UK insect populations by providing an inclusive, hands-on way for local communities and young people to engage with biodiversity and environmental stewardship.

A huge thank you to Kim Insull and his work experience team, along with students from St Mary’s Primary School and Petroc College who helped make this project such a success.

A fantastic achievement for everyone involved! 💚🐝

Very sad news, Jane Goodall was an inspirational woman and a real animal pioneer.

The primatologist was a "tireless advocate" for species protection, her institute says.
