“I do assure you, the world needs Durrell” - Sir David Attenborough
Founded in Jersey in 1963, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international charity working to save species from extinction. Durrell’s overall aim is for more diverse, beautiful and resilient natural landscapes in which wildlife can thrive and people can enjoy a deeper connection with nature.
Through their work in the wild and at Jersey Zoo they reconnect people with nature and help drive the societal change needed to save and restore the natural world.
The Trust’s impact is felt far beyond Jersey’s shores and its achievements include 14 species saved from extinction, including the endangered Mountain Chicken frog and the Black Lion Tamarin, and over 6,500 conservationists trained from more than 140 countries around the world.
