Go Wild Gorillas was an exciting, world-class sculpture trail around Jersey to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

Brightly coloured, individually designed, life-sized gorilla sculptures were places across the island which led visitors on a trail of discovery not only to see the gorillas themselves, but the nature in which they were placed.

This large scale community project raised funds for Durrell and in particular, it marked the launch of their fundraising efforts to build a state of the art new gorilla house at Jersey Zoo.

Go Wild Gorillas also played an important role in Durrell’s new strategy by encouraging more people to get outdoors and reconnect with nature.

All 40 sculptures, plus three smaller ones, were auctioned and raised a staggering £1,146,500 for Durrell. The highest bid of £72,000 went to ‘The Space Between Us’, created by Andy Coutanche.
