Welcome to Durrell

Gerald Durrell - World famous author and naturalist Gerald Durrell founded Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust out of a desire to show that things could be done better.

The tiger challenge & The great wall of China trek - These inspirational expeditions will be a once in a lifetime experience encountering the most spectacular sites, landscapes and wildlife along the way. Whether your aim is to do something different, get fit or simply visit new places and make new friends, you can achieve all of the above while helping us raise much needed funds to allow it to continue in its mission, to save species from extinction.

Durrell is proud to support the 2010 Year of Biodiversity. Seven years ago, national governments made the commitment to significantly halt the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. Although there are some signs of progress, the pressures on ecosystems have only increased and more species have become threatened. However it can be done and we have shown that species can be saved and habitats restored. How can you help?...

Carbon offset - When you buy a Durrell carbon offset, our partners in Brazil will plant trees to mitigate your CO2 emissions.

The trees create corridors that link together the remaining fragments of Brazil’s once majestic Atlantic Rainforest. These corridors are used by wildlife to travel between the remaining forest pockets enabling them to extend their ranges, meet other populations and extend genetic diversity.
