Durrell has changed the role of zoos all over the world, leading by example. They’ve brought back species in the wild from double digit numbers to thriving populations and they’ve taught thousands of people how to do it for themselves.

Your money

Your money will go to the animals that need it most, wherever they are in the world. This means critically endangered species facing extinction will now have a fighting chance.

Gorillas - our closest cousins

The largest of our great ape relatives, and one of the closest to us genetically. They are in real danger as a species due to poaching, habitat loss and even human spread diseases. The gorillas at Durrell are important ambassadors and a safety net population should the worst happen. Durrell also train frontline conservationists and rangers via the Gorilla Guardian Scholarship. If you contribute, you are supporting some of your closest cousins - and that’s a fact.
