ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Tusk Conservation Awards, in partnership with Investec Asset Management, give us a chance to celebrate extraordinary people, whose work and lives might otherwise go unnoticed outside their fields. Their work with wildlife and communities in Africa safeguards the future for us all
The Duke of Cambridge, Tusks Royal Patron says “These awards which mean a great deal to me personally, play a huge part in our mission to preserve Africa’s precious wildlife for its people. It is vital that we recognise the dedication of these unsung heroes and the bravery of rangers risking their lives, day and night, on conservation’s frontline. We all owe them a huge debt of gratitude.”
The 2018 Tusk Award finalists were recognised at a gala ceremony at Banqueting Hall in London on the 8th of November, hosted by Kate Silverton, and with the awards presented by Tusk’s Royal Patron, HRH The Duke of Cambridge.
