Welcome to DICE
The vision behind DICE, the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, was never orthodox. Twenty years on and we're proud to say we have maintained our difference.
We take an inter-disciplinary approach, breaking down the barriers between the natural and social sciences to train conservationists who think practically and innovatively about the challenges that lie ahead.

DICE's future
A key part of the DICE mission is educating conservationists like Benson Okita (MSc Con Bio, 2004) who is now the Rhino Coordinator for the Kenya Wildlife Service and has been awarded a Moran of the Burning Spear by the President of Kenya for his work.
"I am forever grateful for the training I received at DICE, especially the emphasis on working with communities"
In order to bring more bright young conservationists to DICE, and in honour of our 20th anniversary in November 2009, we will be fundraising for scholarships. To learn more, click below.
