The Durrell Challenge: No Knee Injury Is Stopping Superman
After Henry announced he had hurt himself and we saw that knee brace on him in Kansas City, we were beginning to wonder if he'd be ready to run The Durrell Challenge.
Now we have the answer! -- Today Henry confirmed with this funny clip, that he's begun training for the 13K race as he recovers from his injury.
You can join him, and even get a discount if you register by the end of this month... which should give you just enough time to prepare for the May 14th race.

Durrell Wildlife: Update On Mission To Save Frogs
Image: Jersey Evening Post
Today we have an update on a life-saving mission Henry made us aware of, at cavillconservation.com.
Image: Durrell
Back in February, he reached out to help raise funds to reunite the male and female mountain chicken frogs in Montserrat to ensure their survival.
And the first step in that process, has been achieved!
Way to go, Jeff! Caribbean island's last two rare frogs are reunited https://t.co/CtnuN2Fe0o— Lee Durrell (@leedurrell) July 4, 2016
The frogs were living 700m apart among the boulders of a steep, fast-flowing stream in the rainforest at a site known as Fairy Walk. The male had been heard calling for several weeks but after 10 nights of hour-long hikes to the site, the team of conservationists was getting worried that they hadn’t found the female.
Eventually one of the local field workers spotted her. “She was just sat there at the side of the stream, it was absolutely amazing and such a relief” said Jeff Dawson, amphibian programme manager for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and coordinator of the mountain chicken recovery programme, which also involves ZSL, Chester zoo, Nordens Ark in Sweden and local governments.
The female was then caught, weighed and measured, and checked for general health, before being taken to the male’s location downstream and placed in a “soft release” tent to give her time to get used to the new environment. The male joined her about an hour later, and the sides of the tent were gradually opened to allow them to move out in their own time. “When we left left you could hear contact calls which was really encouraging.”
The next step is to monitor the frogs and hope that they breed:
“These two frogs now have a chance of breeding, whereas if we’d left them where they were the poor male would just be sat there calling every night with no one to hear him.”
Check out the rest of the article in the link below.

Keep Up With Everything Durrell Wildlife At Durrell TV
It's hard to believe it's already been nearly two months, since The Durrell Challenge that benefited animals around the world (we're already looking ahead to next year's run!). And while we try and bring you updates on Durrell's projects and Henry's work with the charity, there is always so much going on it's hard to keep up. That's where Durrell TV comes in. Host Rosalie e'Silva told us more about their latest episode:
Durrell TV is a round-up of our top stories from Durrell Wildlife Park and from our conservation projects around the world. This is a jam packed episode - from pygmy hogs, to our gorgeous bear cub to Prof. Carl Jones and much more!
Henry was featured in the first Durrell TV episode (it's a must-watch). Catch the latest one below.

A Fun Day For A Great Cause: New Pics From Durrell Challenge
Durrell Wildlife has posted new photos of The Durrell Challenge and Fun Day, that took place on Henry's home island of Jersey a few weeks ago.
Here are just a few of them, you can see them all in HQ on their Facebook. We had the chance to be at the run, to bring you live coverage and talk to Henry about the event and more. And Durrell has confirmed, he'll be back next year:
"Our Ambassador, Henry Cavill, worked tirelessly throughout the day to ensure that as many people as possible got a photo opportunity and we were rewarded with some amazing feedback from those who visited. Most importantly, our animals enjoyed having so many visitors in the May sunshine.
"We will shortly be announcing the date for the 2017 Challenge & Family Fun Day with Henry Cavill.”
Are you ready to take on the Durrell Challenge while raising funds for Durrell Wildlife?.. stay tuned!
In the meantime, you can still contribute to this year's final goal on Henry's fundraising page or at the Durrell Challenge one. Thanks so much everyone.

The Durrell Challenge: "You All Have Made A Big Difference"
It was a wonderful day of friendship, fitness, and fan support. Hundreds of people joined Henry at The Durrell Challenge and Fun Day that followed earlier this month in Jersey, with all fundraising going to help Durrell save endangered animals around the world. Henry spoke to us about what your support means to him and the charity, and he echoed those sentiments in an updated message on his JustGiving page where many donated and left him messages of support:
Among the fans that helped make The Durrell Challenge a success, were the volunteers who got up bright and early to take their spots along the race route. The very lovely Nella was among them, and she later took these great pics of Henry as he met with fans, and conducted the raffle for his first car. You can see them all in HQ (almost 100 photos!) in the gallery below. Thank you so much for letting us share them with you guys. If you repost, please credit: itsacoffeeshop.tumblr.com.
Here's our video of Nella and a few other fans getting their photo taken with Henry at Durrell Wildlife.
