The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) is a subdivision of the University of Kent, started in 1989 and named in honour of the famous British naturalist Gerald Durrell. It was the first institute in the United Kingdom to award undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and diplomas in the fields of conservation biology, ecotourism, and biodiversity management. It comprises 35 academic, research and professional service staff and an advisory board of 13 conservation science professionals from the government, business, and the NGO sectors.

Its mission is to strengthen conservation policy and practice, to benefit biodiversity and people, through world-class research and training.
