At a glance

  • Author of Sunday Times bestseller Lion Heart
  • Managing Director of The Big Cat Sanctuary
  • Presenter of CBBC series One Zoo Three

Cam Whitnall is a British wildlife photographer, television presenter, and conservation advocate who turns complex environmental challenges into stories and strategies that move people to act.


As Managing Director of The Big Cat Sanctuary, Cam leads one of the UK's foremost centres for big cat welfare and conservation breeding. He presents the CBBC series One Zoo Three, serves as a Nikon Creator, and acts as an ambassador for Nature's Safe, a biobank preserving genetic material from threatened species. In 2025, Cam published Lion Heart, a Sunday Times bestseller recounting his rescue of lions from a war zone in Ukraine.


Cam draws on hands-on wildlife management experience and firsthand crisis response to help organisations translate conservation principles into practical, measurable action. His approach combines conservation science with compelling digital storytelling, enabling businesses and communities to develop sustainability initiatives that genuinely resonate with stakeholders.


Audiences leave with concrete frameworks for embedding sustainability into everyday practice, sharper tools for communicating environmental messages across platforms, and a clearer sense of how authentic wildlife storytelling, including lessons from Cam's own lion rescue, builds brand trust and community engagement.


Book Cam to bring your organisation real conservation expertise and a genuinely extraordinary story of action under pressure.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
