Tusk Trust is
a dynamic organisation, which has over 15 years experience initiating
and funding conservation and community development programmes right
across Africa.
Supported by
UK celebrities such as Rory Bremner, Ronnie Wood, Griff Rhys Jones,
Joanna Lumley, Zoe Ball, Ben Fogle and Alistair McGowan, the
charity's work to deliver direct sustainable conservation has been
widely covered on television and in the media.
In December
2005 HRH Prince William chose Tusk as one of just two charities to
which he is granting his Royal Patronage.
Tusk's current
portfolio of 25 field projects spread across 12 countries is designed
not only to protect wildlife, particularly endangered species, but
also to encourage poverty alleviation and sustainable development
amongst many poor rural communities who co-exist with wildlife. The
charity however contributes substantial funds towards the protection
of many threatened species such as Elephant, Rhino, Cheetah,
Chimpanzee, Mountain Gorilla, African Wild Dog, and even marine
species such as the Turtle and Dugongs.
