World famous author and naturalist Gerald Durrell founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation in1959. His mission was to save species from extinction, and the headquarters in Jersey has evolved since its establishment into a site that showcases the work that Durrell’s team of conservationists tirelessly conduct to help endangered species.
Saving species from extinction is exactly what Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has been doing for fifty years. While many think halting the terrifying rate of extinction of animal species is a lost cause, Durrell, as a charitable organisation, has made it our mission to do what we can to protect endangered animals across the planet.
Walk, look, listen and paly in 32 acres of incredible parkland. Entertainment and education - Durrell is an experience for all the family.
2009 is Durrell’s 50th Anniversary and throughout the year there are many events to celebrate this. All details can be found on the Durrell website www.durrell.org
