Synopsis

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.

On his return to his home in Jersey, and after having read Gerald Durrell's classic My Family and Other Animals, he joined the staff of Durrell's newly established Jersey Zoological Park in May 1959. During his 42 year career in zoos and conservation he studied animals in Africa, Asia and South America. He served as Gerald Durrell's Deputy, and then Zoological Director of the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.

He has written more than 200 papers and articles, addressed conferences in over 20 different countries and is the author of 9 books.
