TRAINING PROGRAMS AT THE DURRELL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TRUST- UK

The International Training Centre is situated at Durrell wildlife park (formerly known as Jersey Zoo) in Jersey, headquarters to Durrell Wildlife Conservation. Durrell wildlife park is a world renowned conservation park containing over 130 species including some of the most threatened birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles in the world.

Les Noyers was purchased in 1979 with the express intention of developing a residential programme of endangered species recovery training. Since that time we have trained more than 2800 conservationists from 128 countries in how to save species from extinction.

Participants on our courses spend time in the conservation park learning first hand from Durrell staff about the husbandry techniques, veterinary care and welfare of our exotic collection. Most importantly you will learn how ex-situ management of endangered species can support their recovery in the wild.

 We run 45 projects in 14 countries worldwide. Many of the staff involved in our overseas conservation projects are based at the our wildlife park. Consequently participants on ITC courses will be exposed to the realities of endangered species and habitat recovery projects through lectures, seminars, problem solving activities and skills training direct from our field staff.
