Durrell Is an International Charity with the Mission of Saving Species from Extinction Overview of Durrell Durrell is an international charity with the mission of saving species from extinction. Author and naturalist Gerald Durrell founded the Jersey Zoo in 1959. It became a charitable trust in 1963 and was renamed Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in 1999 in honour of its founder. Durrell pursues its mission by undertaking conservation action and building conservation capacity around the world, as well as managing the wildlife park in Jersey as its headquarters and as a world class centre for breeding, research, training and education.

Durrell is an international charity with the mission of saving species from extinction. Durrell has demonstrated that dedicated and hands-on efforts really do make a difference to the survival of species and their habitats in the wild. Now known as biodiversity conservation, this work is recognised as vital to the well-being of people and the planet. Author and naturalist Gerald Durrell established the Jersey Zoo in 1959, pioneering the concept that zoos have an essential role to play in the conservation of wildlife. His vision was of a safe haven for the world’s most threatened animals, where they and the efforts required to save them would engage the public. It would also serve as a centre for training conservation specialists from around the globe in endangered species recovery. Gerald Durrell’s vision has been realised. Durrell has rescued species such as the Mauritius kestrel and pink pigeon, the Madagascar ploughshare tortoise and gentle lemur, the Assamese pygmy hog, the St Lucia parrot and the Montserrat mountain chicken frog. Various techniques, developed by Durrell for its ‘conservation toolbox’, including captive breeding, research, management and restoration of wild populations and habitats, training of local conservation managers and community conservation, are used as required. Durrell is based on three core specialisations which have received worldwide acclaim: • the wildlife park in Jersey, home to 120 species of mammal, bird, reptile and amphibian, of which half are threatened in the wild; • the field programme currently operating 50 projects in 14 countries to aid species survival; • the training and education programme providing tuition from primary to post graduate level at a specialist centre at the wildlife park and in outreach courses in other countries. Durrell’s uniqueness lies in the fact that the three specialisations interact with and support each other through staff exchanges, scientific research and income generation. Building on half a century of successful biodiversity conservation, Durrell currently focuses on two integrated themes: • ‘Islands at Risk,’ as many of the most threatened species are found only in island ecosystems, and • ‘Critical Species,’ groups of species which have a high risk of extinction and for which Durrell can have the greatest positive impact. Critical species lslands at risk 3 How does Durrell work? Durrell is committed to achieving practical results in biodiversity conservation by integrating what it does at its headquarters with what it does around the world. Its three core areas specialisation – the wildlife park, the conservation field programme and the training and education programme – are funded in diverse ways. Situated in a beautiful park in Jersey in the Channel Islands, Durrell’s headquarters is the hub of its activities and a ‘window’ on its international work. Visitors can see some of the planet’s most endangered species and learn how they are being saved. Durrell is supported by 114 staff based in Jersey. Some endangered species bred at the wildlife park are returned to their home countries for release to the wild. Others are closely studied by Durrell’s ‘keeper-conservationists’ to discover the optimal conditions in which they can express natural behaviours, including foraging, feeding, sociality, breeding and rearing young. This information coupled with the research on health and nutrition undertaken at the park is used by Durrell’s teams in the field to enhance their understanding of the species in the wild and the threats they face. Ring-tailed Lemur at Durrell Wildlife Park, credit Rick Jones The Estate of Gerald Durrell 4 Conservation Field Programme From 2011 to 2015 Durrell will run up to 50 projects in 14 countries, aiding more than 50 threatened species by undertaking field research, managing and restoring wild populations and habitats, educating, empowering and training local people with respect to biodiversity and other natural resources and, when appropriate, breeding endangered species at specialist centres and releasing them back to the wild. Some Durrell projects have been ongoing for decades, others are more recent. Main areas of operation include islands of the Caribbean and the western Indian Ocean, the Galapagos Islands, Madagascar, India and Jersey. Durrell’s field teams number 60 people. Durrell prioritises conservation actions using an analytical tool called TopSpots which pinpoints areas of high biodiversity. Developed by Durrell in 2007, TopSpots scientifically identifies 200 areas of the planet where species uniqueness is greatest. Current efforts are focused on island ecosystems, birds of South East Asia and globally threatened primates and amphibians. Current field programmes 45 projects in 14 countries 60 staff based overseas 5 How does Durrell work? Training and Education Programme Durrell Conservation Academy, adjacent to the wildlife park in Jersey, provides lifelong learning in biodiversity conservation. Students and practitioners from all fields of conservation are welcomed for professional training – zookeepers, veterinarians, educators, forestry and other natural resource managers, field biologists, planners and fundraisers. To date more than 3,500 individuals from 135 different countries have participated in Durrell courses and workshops, both in Jersey and around the world. After returning to their place of work, Durrell graduates are supported by the Durrell Conservation Learning Network. All children in Jersey receive formal tuition by Academy staff at some point in their school career as well as informally through fun programmes intended for all ages, from Dodolings (age 3-6) to Conservation Science School (age 15-18). Increasingly, young people from the UK and Europe visit Jersey to participate in these activities. 6 How does Durrell work? Funding Durrell’s turnover is £5m - £6m per year. Income is generated through commercial revenues (admission fees to the park*, food, beverage and retail sales, site hire, hostel and campsite lettings, investment performance) and fundraising activities (Trust memberships, grants from foundations and businesses, philanthropic donations from individuals, legacies). Expenditure covers staff costs, operational costs of the wildlife park and field, training and education programmes and fixed costs such as insurance. 81p of every £1 of income is spent in direct support of the mission of saving species from extinction. No animal is ever bought or sold, reflecting the philosophy of the founder, Gerald Durrell, that endangered species are priceless.

Jersey, Channel Islands The island of Jersey is the largest of the four Channel Islands lying in the English Channel between the south coast of England and the northwest coast of France. With a population of less than 100,000 its 45 square miles feature beautiful landscapes of farmland, woodland, rocky coastal cliffs and extensive sand beaches, as well as small villages and one main town. Jersey’s economy is based on agriculture, tourism and global financial services. Durrell’s headquarters are in Jersey in the heart of the wildlife park. Wildlife park On 33 acres in the lush green Jersey countryside, the park is home to 120 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, some of which are allowed to roam free and others thrive in spacious, naturalistic enclosures. Notable denizens among the mammals are families of western lowland gorillas, Sumatran orangutans, various monkeys and lemurs, meerkats and fruit bats. Flocks of flamingos and geese wander the grounds, and enchanting smaller birds delight the visitor in walk-through aviaries. In the Amphibian and Reptile Breeding Centre live some of the rarest creatures in the world, such as Komodo dragons and the mountain chicken frog. The park is open to the public every day of the year except Christmas Day from 09:30 to 18:00 in the summer, with occasional extensions on lovely summer evenings, and 09:30 to 17:00 in the winter.

    Review of birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long ecords and observations on the flora and fauna in the Channel Islands Rare treated with confusing arbitrariness by British naturalists in the various branches of natural history. Botanists include the islands as part of the British Isles, mammalogists do not, and several subdivisions of entomo• logists adopt differing treatments. The BOU lists and records have always excluded the Channel Islands, but The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland (1976) included them, as do all the other distribution mapping schemes currently being prepared by the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. The most notable occurrences of rarities have been published in British Birds, and this review has been compiled so that the other, less spectacular—but possibly more significant—observations are available as a complement to the British and Irish records. The late Roderick Dobson, an English naturalist resident in Jersey between 1935 and 1948 and from 1958 to his death in 1979, was the author of the invaluable Birds of the Channel Islands (1952). In this, he brought together the results of his meticulous fieldwork in all the islands, and his critical interpretation of every record—published or private—that he was able to unearth, fortunately just before the turmoil of the years of German Occupation (1940-45) dispersed much of the material, perhaps for ever. I concern myself here chiefly with the changes recorded during the approxi• mately 30 years since Dobson's record closed. Species considered to have shown little change in status over those years are not listed.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

    Book Reviews 61 Zoo Yearbook). The other criticism of this fine production is that the photographs are ludicrously inadequate for the subject. With only eight pages of photographs for 761 pages of text, they can hardly even begin to sum up the visual aspects of the management of captive animals. But it is churlish to comment adversely on these minor points when the author has provided us with such an immensely useful desk volume. No one concerned with the care of wild mammals can afford to be without it. DESMOND MORRIS Menagerie Manor, by Gerald Durrell. Hart-Davis, 21s. Those who have been enchanted by Mr. DurrelPs previous animal books will not be disappointed by this one describing the first five years of the Jersey Zoo at Les Augres Manor. It consists of a series of delightfully told anecdotes about the inmates of a very happy zoo. Visiting there last summer I was immediately impressed by the tameness and general well- being of the animals, due, I am certain to the pains which Mr. Durrell and his staff take to get to know each one as an individual; they all recognised and greeted him with unmistakable affection when he passed by. The author is conservation-minded, and he describes the dilemma of the zoo director faced with the offer from a dealer of a young orang-utan. Should he refuse it on the grounds that to accept is to stimulate further demand ? Or should he accept because his zoo offers the best chance of survival for this particular animal ? Until the zoos and conservation authorities have this question worked out and until the recent legislation controlling the import of rare animals in this country becomes effective, the zoo director must be guided by his conscience and balance his altruism against his acquisitive enthusiasm.
