Taronga Talks

Zoo Life in Lockdown with Cameron Kerr

Hayden Turner Season 2 Episode 1

In the first Taronga Talks episode for season 2, Taronga Conservation Society Australia CEO Cameron Kerr reflects on the enormous change affecting us all during the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 5,000 animals to still care for, ongoing conservation work to help save endangered species and two beautiful Zoos to maintain, there's no such thing as ‘hibernation’ during lockdown at Taronga!

"I think there’s a really exciting opportunity for us here in this crisis for anyone who’s involved with behaviour change or advocating to live and act slightly differently… We can still get the same joy out of life and still have a growing economy – one that is based on sustainability through growth."
