About Durrell

"On 23rd October 2011 I visited Madagascar, Durrell's biggest conservation programme, to see first hand how Durrell has been working with the local communities to save some of the countries most iconic species, for 25 years.

Here you can watch (and read) my Madagascar Diaries, see how I experienced the real Madagascar, including the highs and lows that the Durrell team based in Madagascar face every day."

Publications - One of the central goals of Durrell's conservation programme is to enhance the evidence base for conservation practitioners in the field. We want to ensure that the knowledge generated through our projects and in collaboration with others is made available to the widest possible audience and becomes a resource both for current and future conservationists.
