British naturalist, writer, zookeeper, conservationist, and television presenter, Gerald Durrell wrote, "All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization." #GeraldDurrell

Today would mark the 100th birthday of #GeraldDurrell. I was about the same age as he is on the first picture when I got "the Amateur Naturalist" - which completely captivated me and sparked a lifelong passion for the natural world. Let’s take a moment to remember him & his incredible legacy today.
The image contains the following quote from Gerald Durrell: The world is as delicate and as complicated as a spider’s web. If you touch one thread, you send shudders running through all the other threads. We’re not just touching the web, we’re tearing great holes in it
Gerald Durrell would have been 100 years old today
Visiting Jersey Zoo as a 10 year old had a profound impact on me and this quote has stayed with me ever since

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of #GeraldDurrell birth.
I got into working in conservation & zoos after meeting him.
My favourite book is Amateur Naturalist as its encouraging people to explore & discover nature.
