Species at Risk

Tusk’s projects protect more than 40 threatened species and their habitat.

As well as protecting African elephant, rhino and lion, Tusk’s projects are playing a critical role in the survival of cheetah, chimpanzee, eastern lowland and mountain gorillas, painted dog, Grevy’s zebra, giant sable, Cape vulture, hawksbill turtle, and many more.

We provide greater protection for more than 40 threatened species, many of which are flagship species that we promote to help secure the landscapes in which they are found. In doing so we also protect other wildlife as an important asset for local communities who could continue to benefit from their presence for future generations.
