A time capsule buried at Jersey Zoo in 1988 contains the following popular quote by Gerald Durrell, often used in conservation awareness campaigns:
- We hope that there will be fireflies and glow-worms at night to guide you and butterflies in hedges and forests to greet you.
- We hope that your dawns will have an orchestra of bird song and that the sound of their wings and the opalescence of their colouring will dazzle you.
- We hope that there will still be the extraordinary varieties of creatures sharing the land of the planet with you to enchant you and enrich your lives as they have done for us.
- We hope that you will be grateful for having been born into such a magical world.

Hello, I am prowling in from South Australia. I had to find out who you were, especially if you both knit and read children's literature.
