Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

Their wildlife park is an essential component of their mission to save species from extinction.

Durrell focuses on the most threatened species in the most threatened places. Their dedicated staff at the wildlife park use their skills to care for highly threatened species and support conservation efforts around the world. By visiting the park you will see some of the most endangered animals in the world and learn about their projects in the field.

The animal collection at the wildlife park is an integral part of Durrell's conservation work. Gerald Durrell's vision was that zoos should be not only be entertaining but centres for research, education and animal conservation and this has been the ethos behind our work here at Durrell wildlife park ever since. The animals in the collection play a number of key roles in conservation ranging from being part of dedicated breeding programmes to acting as ambassadors for the biodiversity of their home countries.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
