For the past week a devastating fire has been raging across the Mount Kenya region. Fuelled by very high temperatures and winds, it has already destroyed 20,000 hectares of moorland within the mountain ecosystem. Tusk has provided $10,000 (£7,500) in emergency funding to help the Mount Kenya Trust prevent the spread of the fire and restrict the damage, but more is needed.
Join us this Spring, along with our partners ISPS Handa and Land Rover, to help raise the vital funds needed to continue to amplify the impactful conservation work of our partners across Africa.
