I really like Gerald Durrell, he founded a Trust in 1963 and its mission was to save species from extinction. He was one of the first people to start using zoos for the purposes of wildlife conservation – really cool. He also wrote fantastic books, for kids and adults – my favourite one when I was little was ‘The Fantastic Flying Journey’ where the characters fly off in a giant hot air balloon house ( a bit like in ‘Up’) and they drank a magic potion which let them speak to the animals they met 🙂
But my favourite now is called ‘My Family and Other Animals’ it is really funny and tells the story about when Gerald was growing up in Greece and all the trouble he got into while exploring and learning about the local wildlife – it’s brilliant and reminds me of the scrapes I used to (and sometimes still do) get into for the sake of animals!
