Since Tusk was founded in 1990, we have generated more than £130 million to support the growth of over 250 local partner organisations and wildlife ranger teams in more than 25 African countries, so enabling and empowering the conservation movement across the continent.
We have always known that expert voices from local organisations, combined with traditional knowledge systems, are best positioned to address the threats facing their continent. Yet in-country, community-driven organisations often remain under-recognised and lack the resources needed to grow and increase their impact.
Our work encourages and bolsters local African leadership, increases the profile of organisations and their teams, and secures the greatest possible conservation impact. We amplify the work of more than 50 pioneering conservation initiatives in over 20 countries, increasing vital protection for at least 70 million hectares of land.

Species we Protect
Tusk supports the full spectrum of Africa’s landscapes and threatened species, from iconic mammals such as black rhino or ‘Big Tusker’ elephants of Kenya’s savanna, to the seagrass-eating dugong of the Indian Ocean and the elusive Cross River gorilla of western Africa’s tropical rainforest.
Projects
We provide critical funding to enable our project partners to grow and increase their impact on habitat and wildlife.
