It’s time to be a zoo again!
We are pleased to announce that, as of 3rd April 2017, Durrell Wildlife Park in Jersey will be changing its name back to Jersey Zoo, the title it was first given by Gerald Durrell in 1959.
Lee Durrell is very much in support of this change and says, “Putting ‘zoo’ back into Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is something I welcome, for it reinforces what Gerald Durrell had been working towards all his life - to ensure that zoos are genuine and powerful instruments for conservation.”
Gerald Durrell was a pioneer in his belief that good zoos could do great things in conservation. Today Durrell continues that mission. We hope that everyone will support this change and continue to enjoy our beautiful zoo and all it has to offer.
