CJ Snail the endangered Species at Jersey Zoo (Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust or DWCT)

We accept that maintaining biodiversity is about conserving ALL species, not just the big, the furry and the cuddly ones.

Niall explained the decision, "In 1997, while on a pilgrimage to Jersey Zoo (founded by Gerrald Durrell OBE, whose books first got me interested in conservation) Anthea and I heard about the captive breeding programme of Partula snails at Jersey, London, Edinburgh and Chester Zoos, etc. We noted the links between Whitby, Captain Cook and Moorea, and between ourselves, Gerrald Durrell and CJS - and decided to adopt a Partula snail on behalf of CJS. We christened him / her 'CJ Snail' because... well, as with most historic events, it seemed like a good idea at the time..."

Leukaemia Research

Co-founder of CJS Anthea Carson died on 21 September 2001 having finally lost her brave fight against Leukaemia. CJS is Anthea’s gift to you. Your gift to her can be any donation (in cash or in kind) to any cancer charity or charity shop in your local area, or to Leukaemia Research.

The LRF has made significant progress over recent years, enabling their 400 scientists at leading hospitals and universities across the country to apply this knowledge every day of the year to save more lives.

April 2009: We have set up a Forget Me Not Fund in Anthea's name, all donations are now sent to this fund which has an opening balance of almost £1200. If you would like to donate to Anthea's Forget Me Not Fund you can do so through CJS as before, or you can download a form to send your donation directly to Leukaemia Research, if you donate directly LRF can can claim Gift Aid if you're eligible and increase your donation by 28p for every £1.
