Wildlife expert Ron Magill receives University of Florida alumnus award
University of Florida alumnus Ron Magill was recognized with the Distinguished Alumnus Award at the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Student Recognition Ceremony on May 1. Magill has spent most of his career changing the face of wildlife conservation. His dedication to the native wildlife of Panama later earned him the key to Panama City on two separate occasions. As a producer, co-producer or photographer for these documentaries, Magill has been able to show the world the importance of wildlife conservation in a multitude of ecosystems on our planet. He created the Ron Magill Conservation Scholarship, a $5,000 annual scholarship given to a wildlife ecology and conservation graduate student studying wildlife species in Central or South America.
