Tusk's Strategy

Almost every country on Earth has signed up to the most ambitious nature protection plan: to conserve 30% of the planet’s land and waters by 2030. Tusk, and our extensive network of project partners, are making a vital contribution towards these targets.

By 2030, Tusk aims to optimise our impact in reducing biodiversity loss and tackling the evolving threats faced by Africa’s biodiversity and linked communities. We will achieve this by convening 60+ organisations and 75 conservation leaders from across the continent, fostering and funding effective collaboration between them and accelerating the growth of community-driven conservation.

Goals

Funding:

We provide critical funding to enable our project partners to grow and increase their impact on habitat and wildlife.

Leadership:

Through the recognition and support of Tusk Conservation Award recipients, we raise the profile of African conservation leaders and their significant impacts in the field across Africa and beyond.

Convening:

We bring our project partners and wider stakeholders together – through initiatives such as the Tusk Conservation Symposium – for learning, innovation, collaboration and impact.

Collaborating:

Through our Collaboration Fund, we enable, nurture and support collaboration between our project partners, for greater synergy and impact.

Amplifying:

We help to increase awareness, funding, and wider support for our partners’ efforts, while also sharing important conservation messages, from the vital and varied roles of wildlife rangers, to the benefits of community-driven conservation, both within Africa and internationally.

Investment in People:

To achieve all of the above, we continue to invest in our capacity and organisational effectiveness.
