  • Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust: formerly the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust. the trust was started by Gerald Durrell in the Jersey Islands in 1963 with the Dodo as its symbol. It was conceived as a safe-haven for endangered animals which need to be rescued from whatever is threatening their survival in their native home; a place where they can breed in safety until favorable conditions can be recreated in their original habitats.
