About Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust

No visit to Jersey is complete without a day at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, where you can see over 1400 mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in 32 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland. Among the endangered species at Durrell are three generations of Sumatran orangutans; mighty Ya Kwanza, the 35 stone Western Lowland gorilla and his family, a Madagascan gentle lemur community; Brazilian black-lion tamarins and silvery marmosets in open woodland. Famous author, naturalist and broadcaster Gerald Durrell founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust nearly 50 years ago with the mission to save endangered wild animals from extinction; his park is the Trusts international headquarters and plays a crucial role in this mission. Here conservationists work closely with the animals to better understand what is required to ensure they survive in their natural habitats. This information is shared with colleagues working on wild animal projects worldwide. Voted the best on the island by visitors, Durrell’s safely-enclosed, animal-themed play area is perfect for youngsters. At the Education Centre, children can enjoy close encounters with reptiles and enjoy books, jigsaws and other play equipment. Dont forget the gift shop with a treasure trove of presents, plus our fabulous buffet styled Dodo Restaurant.
