Golden Bats and Pink Pigeons

A MESSAGE FROM THE DURRELL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TRUST

What Gerald Durrell did for the golden bat and the pink pigeon subsequently saved several native Mauritian species and inspired the founding of the country’s first national park. His experiences with these animals gave fresh impetus and new inspiration to his lifetime crusade to preserve the rich diversity of animal life on our planet.

The crusade to preserve endangered species did not end with Gerald Durrell’s death in 1995. His work goes on through the untiring efforts of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

Over the years many readers of Gerald Durrell’s books have been so motivated by his experiences and vision that they have wanted to continue the story for themselves by supporting his Wildlife Conservation Trust. We hope that you will feel the same way today because through his books and life, Gerald Durrell set us all a challenge. ‘Animals are the great voteless and voiceless majority’ he wrote, ‘who can survive only with our help.’

Please don’t let your interest in conservation end when you turn this page. Write to us now and we’ll tell you how you can be part of our crusade to save animals from extinction.For further information, or to send a donation, write to:
