At Durrell Wildlife Park you’ll come face to face with some of the rarest animals on earth and discover the stories of their fight for survival.

Founded in 1959 by author and naturalist Gerald Durrell, the Wildlife Park is a captive breeding, research and training centre for conservation efforts worldwide. We've trained over 5,500 conservationists from 135 countries, restored species from single-digit number to viable populations, restored entire island ecosystems from bare rock to thriving habitat... and... no word of a lie, changed the role of zoos – from 'attraction' to 'ark' for threatened creatures.
