Our Charity
Where wildlife thrives
Drusillas Conservation in Action Charity
As our world changes and the delicate balance of our ecosystems teeter on the edge, the imperative to conserve and protect our planet's biodiversity has never been more urgent.
Our Vision
A world where wildlife thrives and nature is preserved
Our Mission
To use our position of influence for meaningful change with outcomes that contribute to species survival and habitat restoration
What does the charity do?
The Drusillas Conservation in Action Charity (DCA) formalises and diversifies our conservation income streams, enabling us to partner with more projects, charities, and support more fieldwork.
Fundraising
Bolstering the support of our visitors, members, followers, and friends, fundraising will form a key part of the contribution towards the central DCA fund, which will be used to finance a range of conservation and research activities.
Halting Species Extinction
We are part of the European Ex situ Programme (EEPs) where we hold and breed threatened species to bolster their populations. 50% of Drusillas species are part of carefully managed breeding programs to ensure healthy ex situ populations thrive in our care. We are part of 24 EEPs that include some of the most threatened species in the world.
Conservation Grant Programmes
We are establishing grant programmes that recognise where financial support is needed and invite applications for funding from conservation charities.
Field Conservation
We aim to deliver meaningful, evidence-based, conservation research to inform conservation action and animal welfare, with an annual grant programme available for our staff to apply for conservation and research trips abroad.
Conserving Local Wildlife
We aim to become a recognised leader in the conservation of native British and Sussex wildlife, enriching biodiversity within our parimeter, growing our native conservation partnerships, and encouraging and supporting staff to get involved with native conservation by supplying resouraces, time, and budget.
Conducting Impactful Research
We will expand our efforts to conduct, facilitate, and support scientific research directly impacting conservation action and animal welfare at Drusillas and beyond, providing research opportunities for students, researchers, and Drusillas staff.
