Behind The Bio with Paul Whitehorn: Zoo Keeper, National Zoo & Aquarium Canberra

Ashley Feraude sits down with Paul Whitehorn, head of the National Zoo & Aquarium, including the iconic Jamala Wildlife Lodge.

In this conversation, we dive into the fascinating world of zoo operations and uncover the complex work involved in caring for, presenting, and protecting animals.

Paul has always wanted to work with animals, and his deep passion for our connection with other species shines through. He shares his personal journey and reveals the important work the zoo undertakes—much of which goes unnoticed by casual visitors. The discussion also highlights the broader impact of our visits, not just on the zoo itself, but across national and international networks focused on animal conservation, protection, and care.
