Durrell Born 7 January 1925 Jamshedpur, India Died 30 January 1995 (aged 70) Saint Helier, Jersey Cause of death Septicaemia Known for Founder of Jersey Zoo, author, television presenter, conservationist Spouse(s) Jacquie Durrell (married 1951-1979), Lee Durrell (married 1979) Parents Lawrence Samuel Durrell and Louisa Dixie Durrell Family Lawrence (brother), Margaret (sister), Leslie (brother) Gerald "Gerry" Malcolm Durrell, OBE (7 January 1925 – 30 January 1995) was an English naturalist, zookeeper, conservationist, author and television presenter. He founded what is now called the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and the Jersey Zoo (now Durrell Wildlife Park) on the Channel Island of Jersey in 1958, but is perhaps best remembered for writing a number of books based on his life as an animal collector and enthusiast. He was the youngest brother of the novelist Lawrence Durrell. Early life and education Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India on 7 January 1925. He was the fourth surviving and final child of Louisa Florence Dixie and Lawrence Samuel Durrell, both of whom were born in India of English and Irish descent. Durrell's father was a British engineer and as was commonplace and befitting family status, the infant Durrell spent most of his time in the company of an ayah (nursemaid). Durrell reportedly recalled his first visit to a zoo in India and attributed his lifelong love of animals to that encounter. The family moved to England after the death of his father in 1928 and settled in the Upper Norwood - Crystal Palace area of South London.

  • Gerald Durrell 1 Gerald Durrell
    Gerald Durrell 1 Gerald Durrell Gerald ('Gerry') Malcolm Durrell (* 7. Januar 1925 in Jamshadpur, Indien; † 30. Januar 1995 auf Jersey) war ein britischer autodidaktischer Zoologe und Autor. Er ist der jüngste Bruder des mehrfach für den Literaturnobelpreis vorgeschlagenen Schriftstellers und Diplomaten Lawrence Durrell. Biografie Durrell wurde in Indien geboren, und es wird behauptet, sein erstes verständliches Wort sei "Zoo" gewesen. Er war das jüngste von vier Kindern, darunter sein älterer Bruder, der Schriftsteller Lawrence Durrell. Nach dem Tod des Vaters zog die Familie zunächst 1928 nach England, dann aber 1933 nach Korfu, um dem regnerischen England zu entfliehen. Durrell befasste sich gründlich mit der Tierwelt Korfus, wodurch sein späteres berufliches Interesse geweckt wurde. Seine humorige Autobiografie "Meine Familie und anderes Getier" befasst sich mit dieser Zeit; das Buch wurde 2005 von der Regisseurin Sheree Folkson verfilmt. 1939 siedelte die Gerald Durrell mit Lemur. Sitzbild von John Doubleday Familie unter dem Eindruck des beginnenden Zweiten Weltkrieges nach Bournemouth (England) um. Nach einer Ausbildung zum Tierpfleger in Whipsnade (England) arbeitete Durrell als Tierfänger und unternahm auf der Suche nach seltenen Tieren mehrere Expeditionen. Diese Reisen führten nach Britisch-Kamerun (1947/48, 48/49, 56/57), Britisch-Guayana (1949/50), Argentinien und Paraguay (1953/54), Argentinien (1958/59), Sierra Leone (1965), Mexiko (1968, 79), Mauritius (1976, 77) und Madagaskar (1990); er fing dort Tiere für alle großen britischen Zoos. 1950 erkrankte Durrell an Malaria und begann während dieser Ruhezeit seine Tätigkeit für den Rundfunk. Er arbeitete an sieben Fernsehserien mit. Seine frühen Expeditionen wurden von der BBC begleitet und verfilmt. Seine Filme wurden in vierzig Ländern von 150 Millionen Zuschauern gesehen.
