C EL E B R ATI N G 60 Y EA RS O F SAVING SPECIES The Investec Wilderness Ball was a fantastic celebration of Durrell’s 60th anniversary, raising an astonishing £224,291 to support our work rewilding habitats and saving threatened species from extinction. The Royal Jersey Showground was transformed to bring to life Durrell’s vision of a wilder, healthier, more colourful world, highlighting the vibrancy and natural beauty of our planet. Hosted by Durrell Ambassador Monty Halls, guests were treated to an incredible live performance by disco legends Sister Sledge, which culminated in the Durrell and Investec ‘family’ on stage as backing singers to their number one hit song We are Family.
