2025 has seen a number of highly successful events, providing important fundraising opportunities and also improved awareness to the importance of conservation. All of these events, campaigns and ongoing plans lead to one pressing conclusion, the need to carry on our mission to grow and improve biodiversity across Africa.
Thank you for your support, without your ongoing dedication we wouldn’t be able to carry on doing everything we can to accelerate African-driven conservation.

In May Trek-for-Tusk saw supporters taking to the beautiful South West Coast Path in Dorset. In June The Lewa Safari Marathon took place at one of Africa’s highest profile conservancies with 1000s of runners tackling the unforgiving terrain and altitude of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. The summer saw the Tusk Turtle Trail takeover the streets of central London, with a staggering 690,000 trail map views over the course event and a successful auction night raising nearly £200,000 to conclude the trail. The Wildlife Ranger Challenge took place in early Autumn with ranger teams and supporters completing a range of training challenges, concluding in the continent-wide race day, in full ranger kit. 60 partner organisations took part covering 102 protected areas. And to bring the calendar to a close, Tusk’s Royal Patron, HRH Prince Wales, presented the winners of the Tusk Conservation Awards at the presentation night in November.
