Erick, Sr. and Katya Bozzi, and their children, Erick, Jr., and Katiana, founded the STAR EcoStation in Culver City, CA, as an environmental science museum, an exotic wildlife rescue center, and a haven for endangered and illegally-trafficked exotic animals confiscated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Working in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other government and environmental organizations, STAR EcoStation provides the last chance for illegal or abandoned at-risk exotic wildlife.
