Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

Gerald Durrell, the organisation’s founder, had a vision to create a stationary ark where animals in need of protection could be kept and bred. Today, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has gained a worldwide reputation for its pioneering conservation techniques and has made a significant difference to more than 30 endangered species worldwide. Our knowledge and expertise, along with that of our partner organisations extends far beyond our headquarters in Jersey. We work in some of the most threatened environments on the planet, focussing on the rarest species and the most fragile habitats.
