Pangolin: The Conservation Podcast

Welcome back to ReZOO: The Zoo Review Podcast! On today's episode, Jack and Jodi revisit Chester Zoo to determine whether they where too generous in their first assessment of the park. They discuss what has changed, some of the events they have attended, and why Chester Zoo remains one of the best zoos in the UK. 

This episode is broken into 4 sections... Bats, Boats, Babies and Events (sorry we couldn't think of a 4th 'b word'). In the first section they discuss the bat house, which was closed due to COVID-19 the first time they visited. Then they discuss the island boat trip, before fawning over the zoo's baby Rhino, Fossa and Tapir! Finally they recap the Christmas lights and Youth Symposium!

Thank you for all your support over the past year, it has meant the absolute world to us! 💚

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me for the final episode of 'My Arizona Adventure'! Today, we are celebrating the entirety of my incredible trip. First, I recap the week and discuss what I learned from my visits to the Tucson Botanical Gardens, Phoenix Zoo, Reid Park Zoo, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

I split what I learned at the conference into 5 categories for ease of consumption!

I also discuss the amazing keynote speeches from Julie Packard, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Leander Lacy! 

Thank you to all of the incredible friends I made while in Tucson, thank you to the NAAEE, and thank you to all of the incredible people who have listened to this series! I would not have had such an amazing trip without you! 💚
