The founder of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, author and naturalist Gerald Durrell's mission was to fight to save rare and endangered species from extinction, and this is the mission we carry forward today.
The headquarters of Durrell in Jersey is just a part of how we are achieving this mission, acting as the hub and command post for our worldwide projects and a 'window' onto our work in the wild. In the never-ending fight to protect endangered species, you can make a difference by joining us in this mission.
