Show notes

After 46 years at Zoo Miami, Ron Magill joins the show to reflect on his retirement from day-to-day zoo operations and his new role with the Zoo Miami Foundation. He explains how the transition allows him to focus on his true passion — helping get animals back into the wild — without dealing with as much bureaucracy and red tape. Ron also promotes this Friday’s “Feast with the Beasts” event and shares why it remains one of South Florida’s signature conservation fundraisers. Plus, he dives into the state of animal populations across Florida and the challenges wildlife continue to face.
