The Touch of Durrell Summary

The Touch of Durrell by Jeremy Mallinson

The Touch of Durell is packed full of gorgeous photos of gorillas, cheetahs and lion tamarins and is a celebration of a lifetime spent in conservation. For more than 30 years Jeremy Mallinson was Gerald Durrell's right-hand man at the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust. Widely regarded as a trailblazer in the world of conservation, he has devoted his life to the care and collection of endangered species. Becoming Director of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust after the death of Gerald Durrell, it is Mallinson's marvellous ability to relate to animals - and convey his enthusiasm for them to the rest of us with infectious vigour - that have made him such a powerful champion for wildlife around the world.
