Welcome to the ESCAPE THE ZOO podcast, where we interview leading wildlife photographers, conservationists and scientists to learn more about the awe-inspiring species that we share this fascinating planet with. Guests of the podcast have traveled to the the edges of the world to observe, photograph, study and support wildlife in their natural environment and, as you probably can imagine, now have some of the most exciting, scary, crazy, extreme, and beautiful stories that I have ever heard.

Federico Veronesi is a Kenya-based professional wildlife photographer and safari guide. This is his second time on the podcast. We spend time chatting about his upcoming photographic book, One Life, which is following up his incredible first book, “Light and Dust.”

Will Burrard-Lucas is an incredible wildlife photographer from the UK. He often uses new technologies and innovations to photograph wildlife in unique ways.
He just released his brand new book, Land of Giants. Below is the book synopsis to provide perspective:
"Deep in the heart of a vast wilderness, some of the rarest creatures on Earth still roam;
living relics from a bygone era, they are the last of Africa’s great tuskers. For the first
time these elusive elephants have been subject to an in-depth photographic study and
are now immortalised in this book.
Will Burrard-Lucas, in partnership with Tsavo Trust and Kenya Wildlife Service, spent
months photographing elephants in all corners of the Tsavo Conservation Area.
Using the latest technology including his innovative remote-control BeetleCam,
Burrard-Lucas has captured an intimate glimpse into the lives of Tsavo’s elephants and
a spectacular photographic record of some remarkable individuals.
Against a backdrop of escalating human-wildlife conflict and the ever-present threat
of poaching, this book brings a message of hope: that these giants are still out there –
and they can still be saved."
