EP217: Jungle Jordan

I sat down with Jungle Jordan this week on the NoPixAfterDarkPodcast. We discussed how he took an interest into animals at a young age. His passion for being a zoo keeper. His travels across the United States speaking to different audiences about his journey. Awareness and Diversity to the zookeepers field. I would like thank the Maryland Zoo for connecting us.

Jungle Jordan is a zookeeper and wildlife educator whose mission is to make it fun to learn about the animal world. His passion for wildlife education and conservation is contagious and he hopes to inspire younger generations to be participants in conserving and repairing the natural world. Through his educational and often comedic videos, he explores different ways to engage with wildlife: in zoos, aquariums, safaris, through books and television, and even hiking in his own backyard. Jordan has been bringing his voice to his audience as Jungle Jordan since 2017: through social media, podcasts, classrooms, diversity panels, and more. He advocates not only for the conservation of wildlife but also for diverse audiences to get involved in animal care and conservation. Jordan hopes his voice will inspire more diversity and inclusivity in the animal world.
