40. Exploring Chester Zoo’s Youth Board, Aardvarks & … Scrotum Frogs?! (with Connor Davies)
Episode description
Once again Jack is joined by Connor Davies, a member of the Chester Zoo Youth Board! He is here to tell us all about youth governance, inclusivity in conservation, and the important work and aspirations of the Chester Zoo Youth Board!
The pair begin with a recap of Connor's last appearance on the show where he discussed Bristol Zoo and volunteering. They then jump into the topic of inclusivity and how the Chester Zoo Youth Board promotes the voices of under-represented groups. They also take a whistle-stop tour through the Youth Boards greatest achievements (including their Youth Symposium and Accessibility work) and discuss two of Connor's favourite under-represented species, the somewhat bizarre aardvark and the unfortunately nicknamed scrotum frog!
