The threats to Africa’s aqua-life are becoming more and more apparent. Over-fishing, poaching, coral bleaching and rising temperatures are just some of the challenges facing the wildlife of Africa’s lakes, rivers and seas, and the people who live on their banks. Africa’s aquatic biodiversity – from coral reefs to mangroves, turtles to hippos – is at increasing risk. Without urgent action, it could be too late to turn the tide.
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. We invest in a broad range of partners and empower local African leaders to achieve a shared vision of an Africa in which biodiversity flourishes and people thrive.
