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 barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
