Africa is home to 25% of all global biodiversity including some of the planet's most iconic and endangered species, such as elephant, lion and rhino. But our increasing human footprint, conflict with wildlife, and habitat destruction is putting them under threat. Local communities and organisations are best positioned to address the threats facing their continent. Yet grassroots organisations are often under-resourced, making it difficult to achieve successful and sustainable solutions.

Tusk champions community-driven conservation and a partnership model. We work with the best local organisations, providing funding and building capacity to help accelerate their growth from innovative ideas to scalable solutions to ensure maximum impact on the ground. We invest in a broad portfolio of project partners and empower local African leaders to achieve a shared vision of an Africa in which biodiversity flourishes and people thrive.
