Ep. 5 | Pandas, polar bears & people with David Field (Royal Zoological Society of Scotland‪)‬ Wee Blue Dot - A Conservation Podcast

In Episode 5 we chat to David Field, CEO of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which runs both Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is a registered charity which has been working to promote awareness and conservation of rare and endangered animals for over 100 years. David talks about his route in the zoo world (from zookeeper to CEO), how life has been over the last year, and how the zoo inspires him personally. We discuss the role of a good zoo today, why engagement is so important, and how listeners at home can support the amazing work of zoological collections. Overall, it’s clear that David’s passion and dedication shines through in RZSS’s mission statement - to connect people with nature and safeguard threatened species.
