About this ebook
'What we tried to do in Jersey is create a new sort of zoo. I think we have succeeded.'
In The Stationary Ark Gerald Durrell describes his battles to create his vision of a new sort of zoo in Jersey, chronicling his successes and failures and adding a liberal sprinkling of zoo animal tales along the way.
Much of Durrell's personal vision and approach to the aims of captive breeding and conservation is set out here, as well as aspirations for the future of zookeeping: ‘in our next step, we plan to form the Trust into a kind of mini-university of wildlife husbandry and breeding’.
