One Lion and One Man Who Believed
K’wasi the lion was born at Zoo Miami in late 2013 and captured the hearts
of the nation; however, his story soon turned dark as K’wasi was orphaned only
a few months later. Join wildlife documentarian Ron Magill and Miami Herald
columnist Greg Cote as they detail the remarkable true story of K’wasi.
Magill and Cote reflect on K’wasi’s fight for life and the parallels to Magill’s
own improbable and unique path into wildlife conservation. Magill and Cote
highlight the beauty and suffering found in K’wasi’s story and throughout the
animal kingdom in the hopes of helping us all understand that, in the end, we
protect what we love, we love what we understand, and we understand what we’re
taught.
Funny, touching, and profound, The Pride of a Lion teaches us just
how much humans can learn from animals.

Ron Magill has worked with wildlife for over 40 years. He is the host of HITN’s national wildlife documentary program, Mundo Salvaje con Ron Magill. As Zoo Miami’s “Goodwill Ambassador," he has made frequent television appearances on many programs including National Geographic Explorer, the Discovery Networks, the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Late Show, CBS This Morning, Dateline, and CNN, as well as on Spanish networks Univision and Telemundo. In addition, he has written and produced many wildlife articles and award-winning photographs that have appeared in publications and galleries around the world. He has traveled extensively throughout Africa, Asia and tropical America while developing and directing conservation projects and Emmy-Award winning documentaries focusing on the wildlife of those regions. In addition to Zoo Miami and the Zoo Miami Foundation, Ron has worked with several children’s charities with a special dedication to the Make-a-Wish Foundation where he helps to grant wishes for children facing life-threatening diseases. In addition, he is a regular speaker at schools and civic organizations throughout South Florida in hopes of inspiring our youth to follow their dreams while showing them the importance of protecting our world’s wildlife for generations to come. Ron’s proudest professional accomplishment is the establishment of the “Ron Magill Conservation Endowment” at the Zoo Miami Foundation. This endowment is the largest of its kind at the zoo and provides tens of thousands of dollars annually to wildlife conservation by providing annual scholarships as well as supporting field conservation projects designed to protect wildlife in the wild areas where it is naturally found.
