Dyer Island Conservation Trust
Birkenhead House
Foundation
Founded in 2006 by Wilfred Chivell, the Dyer Island Conservation Trust delivers unique conservation and research programmes in a fragile and critically important marine eco-system. The Dyer Island Conservation Trust strives to protect the largest surviving colonies of the endangered African Penguin whose numbers are at an all-time low; the globally important breeding and calving grounds of the Southern Right Whale; and the world’s densest populations of the vulnerable Great White Shark. Through the generous support of our guests, Birkenhead House has sponsored the rehabilitation and release of over 30 penguins and aims to assist the Trust in achieving their goals of:
- Discovering and understanding the globally important marine eco-system through world-class scientific research.
- Protecting the long-term future of the species that live in the area by translating this knowledge into evidence-based conservation initiatives.
- Educating local communities, legislators and visitors – by informing and actively involving them in achieving our goals for the benefit of all.
