The Tusk Trust is a British non-profit organisation set up in 1990 to help to protect African wildlife including African elephants. OverviewTusk Trust was set up by Charles Mayhew, MBE, who is the Chief Executive.[1] Stephen Watson is currently Chairman. It is a member of the Princes' Charities Forum, an initiative started by Prince William and Prince Harry in 2006 as a way of bringing together their charitable interests to develop synergies between the 20 or so organisations they support.[2] Prince William has been a Royal Patron of the organization since 2005. Together with Investec Asset Management, it presents the Tusk Conservation Awards every year in London since 2013.[3] On 12 September 2013 Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attended the 1st annual Tusk Conservation Awards .[4][5] For almost thirty years, Tusk has pioneered successful conservation action in Africa. From the plains of the Serengeti to the rainforests of the Congo Basin, we’re working to build a healthier, fairer and more productive continent. We do this by protecting wildlife, empowering communities and advancing the frontline in the fight against the illegal wildlife trade. Founded in 1990 and under the Royal Patronage of HRH The Duke of Cambridge since 2005, Tusk has supported local partners and communities on the ground with over £40 million of investment. Joining forces with over 80 project partners in 19 countries, we know that the key to sustainable conservation is supporting the expertise and initiatives of local communities. Together we provide greater protection for more than 40 threatened species and work to secure the precious landscapes they depend on. More than 6,000 local people are employed through Tusk’s partner projects, while more than a million others benefit from greater security, infrastructure, healthcare, and the wider livelihood options that they present. Over 100,000 children currently attend schools and education centres supported by Tusk, and our Pan African Conservation Education (PACE) programme has already reached over 500,000 schoolchildren in 33 different countries.
