BE INSPIRED

We are so grateful to all our friends, members, and supporters and we would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to each and every one of you. We hope you will be inspired by some of the ways our supporters have raised funds to help us save wildlife.

FUNDRAISING MASKS We are so thankful to two volunteers who have raised more than £8,500 by making and selling patterned fabric face masks! Sarah Nugent has made approximately 1,500 masks using recycled materials from the Durrell Charity Shop and has raised £6,400 from selling them outside her home. Karen Clark has raised more than £2,100 and has also coordinated a team of 20 volunteers to produce over 250 animal-themed masks for our dedicated staff.

PAPER FOR THE PLANET Office Club and Nemo Group have launched ‘Our Earth’ paper and are supporting our vision of a wilder, healthier, more colourful world with a donation to Durrell from each ream sold. The paper is produced in the EU using wood from sustainably managed forests and a mill that generates renewable energy. You can support Durrell by ordering “Our Earth” paper at www.sps.co.je

COMMEMORATIVE COINS Last year, a unique set of £2 coins were authorised for release by the Jersey Treasury and fully approved by Her Majesty the Queen to celebrate Jersey Zoo’s 60th anniversary. The collection raised over £3,000 in donations for Durrell.

CRESTBRIDGE SUPPORTS BRAZIL REFORESTATION Following the cancellation of high-profile industry events to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Crestbridge generously donated the funds to Durrell to support our work connecting fragmented patches of rainforest in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

In April, we reached out to our community of supporters to take part in the 2.6 Challenge for Durrell, a national fundraising event coinciding with the London Marathon. Supporters were creative with fundraising challenges around the number 2.6 and 26. We received 133 donations raising a total of £4,328, enabling us to continue our work and give wildlife a future!

THE BIRDMAN This short film tells the inspiring story of Durrell’s Chief Scientist, Professor Carl Jones MBE. Carl has probably saved more species from extinction than any other conservationist, and has inspired many people around the world to take up the conservation cause. Screened on Sky Atlantic, The Birdman was made in partnership with Volvo Car UK. Volvo is generously supporting three Durrell projects; the reintroduction of European wildcats and white storks to the UK and recovering the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. www.durrell.org/birdman
