033 - Chris Corpus: Grounding Conservation in Community and Growing the Dallas Zoo in Oak Cliff

Chris Corpus, Senior Director of Conservation and Community Impact at the Dallas Zoo, joins us to talk about what it really means to care for wildlife—both in faraway ecosystems and right here in Oak Cliff. From creek cleanups and community partnerships to wildlife rescue and international conservation work, Chris shares how his journey from journalism and filmmaking led him to a career centered on people, place, and protecting what’s wild. Along the way, we dig into urban nature, global species recovery, and why empathy and education are at the heart of it all.
