Organizations edit
- 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. After Durrell's death in 1995, it was renamed in his honour on 26 March 1999.
