...It's Time to Look to the Future

Durrell has an unparalleled history of success in saving species from extinction. But this is only one part of the puzzle – saving a species requires habitat protection, local involvement of people and long term study and support. Our actions make a difference far beyond the single species that may be the focus.

We are acting to halt the loss of biodiversity worldwide by getting out into the areas where the needs for conservation are highest. We identify the threats affecting a species and its habitat, and act rapidly because in many cases these species are really on the brink of extinction.

As the challenges faced in protecting biodiversity increase in the face of such threats as climate change, we need to form new and innovative partnerships to halt species decline.

We are also training the conservation leaders of the future both here at our headquarters in Jersey and cutting edge edges run in the centres of biodiversity around the world.

Supporting Durrell’s work is an investment in the future. We need your help to continue Durrell’s innovative conservation efforts, to build both our own skills in the conservation of species but also the capacity of local people to protect their environment.

Ultimately we all rely on the natural environment to support us. Each species that disappears is another brick lost from the wall upon which we as humans sit. It's time to make sure this wall is built to withstand the impact of our actions.
