At Durrell, they are passionate about enabling conservation practitioners, and aspiring professionals, to acquire and share the competences needed to be more effective and to achieve career-goals. 

They believe that conservationists need access to more training and longer-term professional development opportunities to grow their leadership abilities, as well as their professional and technical skills. They believe conservationists, and the conservation community as a whole, would benefit from more opportunities to come together to share experiences, challenges and ideas.
