Academy
Our wildlife park, field programmes and academy come together to deliver a unique approach to tackling today’s conservation problems, with skills developed within each area allowing us to stop declines of threatened species in the short term, as well as building necessary skills and capacity to protect species and habitats in the long term.
Durrell is pioneering
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.
