Right now it’s a super busy and eventful time at Creature Candy HQ, due to our fantastic Big Fundraiser for Wildlife campaign being well under way (thank you for all of the support so far). Also, we want to pass our congratulations on to our founder Lizzie and her family, after the safe arrival of their beautiful baby girl Holly last weekend!
In otter news, we’re proud to now be supporting another marvellous wildlife charity - The UK Wild Otter Trust! They are dedicated to promoting a positive understanding of otter conservation, and raising awareness of the species through education, involvement, and engagement. They aim to:
Work towards otter welfare in the UK, and assist with species conservation – both alone and in collaboration with other groups.
Engage with, support, advise, negotiate with, and maintain stable relationships with fishery owners and anglers.
Promote responsible otter watching to minimise and prevent any unnecessary disturbance to otters and their shelters.
Work with other otter groups and angling bodies to research and improve our understanding of otter biology and ecology.
Stay aware of current and future changes that may affect the otter, and to be prepared to lobby for change.
Raise awareness of the species and its habitats via talks, walks, printed literature, and other outreach initiatives.
Now, those of you that have been Creature Candy fans for a while, or perhaps have had a nose around our website, you will have noticed that we already have an otter design that supports a different charity - International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF). We will be supporting UK Wild Otter Trust in a different way; by raising awareness of the work the charity does, posting their blogs on to our website, donating gifts for fundraising and attending events to help raise those funds.
You can find out more about UK Wild Otter Trust and their fabulous work via the buttons below. You can also check out our lovely otter products, including otter prints signed by Jimmy Doherty!
THE OTTER
The playful Eurasian Otter Lutra lutra, swims unnoticed along rivers and coastlines, hunting for fish, frogs and small mammals. With a whistle and a twitter, and a twitch of sensitive whiskers, the otter is master of its aquatic habitat. A true ambassador of a healthy environment.
