Jersey Zoo

Jersey Zoo is a zoological park founded in 1959 by Gerald Durrell, a naturalist and writer, in the English Channel on the island of Jersey. It is under the management of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. The park is set in 13 hectares of landscaped parkland and water gardens. The zoo's primary objective is to provide a safe and naturalistic environment for a diverse range of animal species, while also educating visitors about the importance of conservation and the preservation of biodiversity. Rare and endangered species have always been a focus of the Jersey Zoo. It has over 130 species of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. One of the zoo's most significant achievements is its breeding program for endangered species. Through its collaboration with international conservation organizations, Jersey Zoo has successfully bred and reintroduced several species into the wild, including the Mauritian Pink Pigeon. Within the grounds there are over 50 nest boxes used by a variety of birds such as Barn Owls, kestrels, swallows, and House Martins. Other creatures commonly seen on the site include the Red Squirrel, Bank Vole and Short-Toed Treecreeper. The zoo's dedication to animal welfare is also evident in its state-of-the-art enclosures and facilities, which are designed to mimic the natural habitats of the animals. The zoo's veterinarians and animal care team work tirelessly to ensure that every animal receives the highest level of care, nutrition, and enrichment. This attention to detail has earned Jersey Zoo a reputation as one of the world's leading zoological institutions.
