DURRELL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TRUST - UK

Durrell strives to save the most threatened species in the most threatened places around the world. Biodiversity is essential for human survival and our aim is to ensure we can persist alongside the myriad of plants and animals that inhabit our planet. Our wildlife park, field programmes and academy come together to deliver a unique approach to tackling today's conservation problems.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
