The Dodo Club is the children's wing of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust based in Jersey, Channel Islands.
The main focus of the club is environmental awareness and citizen science projects among younger members of the Trust. The Dodo Club is so named because the logo of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is a Dodo, chosen by the founder Gerald Durrell as a reminder of man's wanton environmental destruction.

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)
