Cameron Whitnall is the marketing manager at Paradise Wildlife Park, a family-run wildlife park and charity in Hertfordshire. He grew up at Paradise Wildlife Park, purchased by his grandfather Peter Sampson in 1984, and The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent.
Alongside his two brothers, Aaron and Tyler, Whitnall stars in a TV show called One Zoo Three, which airs on CBBC and BBC iPlayer. The show follows the lives of the siblings as they live and work at their family’s zoo.
Tyler Whitnall, director of Paradise Wildlife Park, says: “We hope our supporters and the UK public love our show One Zoo Three! It’s an amazing programme that will hopefully showcase the very best of what working at a zoo is all about. I feel very privileged to grow up on site at Paradise Wildlife Park alongside my two brothers and cannot wait to share our message of animal welfare to the nation.”
Over the last two years, Whitnall has been promoting ‘good zoos’, sanctuaries, conservation and his own photography with wildlife on his social media channels. He boasts more than 580,000 followers on TikTok. He has partnered with WWF UK, Sky News, TikTok, ATTN and Huawei.
In 2021, he hosted a livestream for TikTok at COP26 in Glasgow and was selected as a One Step Greener Ambassador. He has large followings on Instagram and YouTube, where he provides a look at animal conservation and sustainability.
Whitnall contributed to Paradise Wildlife Park’s conservation initiative Drive4Wildlife, which has rescued and rehabilitated more than 300 animals since 2020. He continues to help conservation charities across the world, working in India to support tiger conservation and across Africa to aid various species.
Speaking to blooloop, Lynn Whitnall, CEO of Paradise Wildlife Park, said her sons Tyler, Aaron and Cameron “have worked across the animal park over the years, done the experiences and tours”. She added: “And they still do events and functions, representing us at conferences, often travelling abroad. They have also done a lot in conservation.”
