Species that have been pulled back from the brink include the Assam pygmy hog, St Lucia whiptail lizard, Mallorcan midwife toad, as well as helping to save more species of birds then any other conservation organisation on the planet. The Trust’s dedicated expert conservationists are hard at work in threatened habitats around the world continuing the battle to protect and conserve many more.

Durrell uses hands-on conservation expertise to help endangered species recover and survive in the long-term, working with animals in the wild; in protected environments overseas and at its international headquarters at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Jersey.

Over the course of the last 50 years, the Trust has built up a worldwide reputation for its pioneering conservation techniques, developed under the leadership of its founder, the late renowned author and naturalist Gerald Durrell.

In all cases, the Trust believes in working closely with local communities and governments, forestry departments and local stakeholders to tackle threats in ways that are effective, sustainable and have the support of those that live in these regions and communities, which is so vital for lasting success.

Today, Durrell is continuing to develop its overseas work in new areas of the world, with a particular focus on vulnerable communities of endemic species that make such a valuable contribution to global biodiversity, found particularly in island and highland regions.

Over the course of the coming months and years, Durrell will be pioneering the concept that the ‘islands and highlands’ of the world need to be protected as the ‘lighthouses’ of the planet that they truly are.
