Ever thought about what it would be like to grow up surrounded by roaring lions and playful lemurs? Join us for a wild tale as we chat with Aaron Whitnall from Hertfordshire Zoo (previously known as Paradise Wildlife Park) in England! Founded by Aaron’s grandfather on April Fool's Day, 1984, this zoo had a rocky start as "the worst zoo in Britain." But with dedication and passion, Aaron and his family transformed it into a hub of conservation excellence. From hilarious school stories to the thrill of having bedrooms overlooking big cats, Aaron's childhood is anything but ordinary.
We also explore the incredible conservation efforts led by the park and its sister establishment, the Big Cat Sanctuary. Hear firsthand how they collaborate with other zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens under the IUCN Species Survival Commission's network to reintroduce native species like hedgehogs and swifts, and imagine the potential return of larger predators like the European wildcat and lynx. Aaron offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and successes of running family-operated zoological parks and their significant contributions to preserving wildlife.
And if you're curious about the power of television in conservation, we discuss how a partnership with the BBC has boosted the zoo's outreach. Get a sneak peek into their plans to expand globally, bringing their conservation message to new audiences starting with China. This episode is packed with engaging stories and insightful conservation efforts. Listen now and get inspired by the remarkable work of Aaron and his family!
