Is Zootopia Creating Demand for Pet Fennec Foxes in China? (SPOILER: Probably Not)

23/05/2016

During the past few months many media outlets have reported that the movie blockbuster Zootopia is dirving the demand for pet Fennec Foxes in China. I had a look at the exiting evidence (with the key support of coauthor Anita Wan) and come to some surprising conclusions in a blogpost for National Geographic! Read it all here!

Thanks to the Society for Conservation Biology for this chance to get a more evidence based perspective out there!
