Brandon MalyBrandon Maly was taught to love and appreciate all animals while growing up in Illinois and visiting the Brookfield and Lincoln Park zoos. This appreciation grew even greater when he met his wife and wildlife biologist Stephanie. He is a passionate avocate for AZA-affiliated zoos and aquariums and their dedication to research, conservation, education, and science. Zoos played a major part in shaping his life, and he wants to raise awareness of the value they bring to species conservation.
