Cam Whitnall's bold and uplifting memoir tells the story of the unique bonds with big cats that shaped his childhood and the dramatic warzone rescue that brought five lions to safety here in the UK.

Produktbeschreibung
Cam Whitnall's bold and uplifting memoir tells the story of the unique bonds with big cats that shaped his childhood and the dramatic warzone rescue that brought five lions to safety here in the UK. The Whitnall family's adventures began when Cam's grandparents visited the old Broxbourne Zoo and witnessed the awful conditions there. Despite having no experience of wild animals, the pair traded in their own company and, with hard work, they transformed the zoo. Growing up on the site, Cam and his two older brothers slept in a room that overlooked the tiger enclosure. They played hide and seek around the grounds once visitors had left and even hand-reared a lion cub called Zara in their parent's home. Learning from their grandparents, Cam, Aaron and Tyler committed themselves to protecting rare and wonderful animals from across the globe. Cam now runs the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent which hit the headlines in 2024 for spearheading a mammoth rescue effort to bring five abandoned and shell-shocked lions trapped in war-torn Ukraine to safety at the sanctuary. Changing their fate, it was a journey that saw Cam develop an unbreakable bond with Yuna, Vanda, Rori, Amani and Lira, and gave the lions the freedom to walk on grass for the very first time.
Autorenporträt
Cam Whitnall grew up in a family-run zoo in Hertfordshire, sharing his childhood home with big cats and threatened species from around the world. Alongside his two brothers, he became a familiar face on CBBC's One Zoo Three, inspiring millions of young viewers with behind-the-scenes stories of wildlife conservation. His photography for Nikon and social media work have further amplified his mission, reaching a global audience. Cam is now Director of The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, a globally recognised centre for big-cat conservation. Drawing on years of dedicated work with wildlife, he combines expertise, strong values around animal welfare, and a drive to create real change. Today, he is a powerful voice in the conservation world. In 2024, he made international headlines for rescuing five lions from war-torn Ukraine and creating a safe place for their rehabilitation at the sanctuary, a mission few believed was possible.
