I have followed Tusk’s work for a number of years and was lucky enough to visit some of their projects in Kenya a few years ago. Since then, I’ve been committed to keep pushing Tusk’s efforts, notably via our incredible network of supporters. I was thrilled to join the GenerationTusk committee and can’t wait for what’s to come. I guess this means I need to run the Lewa marathon now - although friends would tell you I’ve been saying this for years….

I have always been fascinated by wildlife conservation across Africa, having strong family ties to South Africa. I came across Tusk a few years ago and was blown away by their vision and impressive track record. I am excited and proud to be a part of GenerationTusk, working alongside like-minded individuals and promoting meaningful change across the continent.

When my running obsessed Dad managed to persuade me to do the Lewa Half Marathon in 2019, I was nervous, but it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life and I have since been back to run again. My trips to Lewa have been amazing for so many reasons but some of the stand out moments have been seeing the community projects and conservation efforts Tusk are supporting. Seeing the real impact Tusk is having for people and wildlife on the ground in Kenya and the rest of Africa has fuelled my passion for sustainable conservation and community development. Having the opportunity to work with other like-minded individuals on the GenerationTusk team was therefore an incredible chance I couldn’t let pass by! As a recent University graduate, I am really looking forward to expanding Tusk’s outreach among passionate young people.

Africa has always been an incredibly special place for me. I’ve been privileged to spend a lot of time across the continent and I’ve been inspired by the amazing wildlife, beautiful landscapes and incredible people I met. I first got involved with Tusk in 2016 when I joined the team at work running the Lewa Safaricom Marathon. It was a hugely eye opening experience, getting to see first hand several of their projects on the ground, the significant impact they are having both in protecting the wildlife for future generations but also in supporting the local communities. Since then, I’ve been actively seeking to get more involved with Tusk, first through our corporate fundraising effort and now as part of the GenerationTusk Team. It’s a great way to connect with like-mind people who are passionate about the cause, to learn more about the current projects and about what else we can do.

I am passionate about conservation so am thrilled to be part of the GenerationTusk team. I am a vet student who has completed an intercalated year in geography, so I am in awe of Tusk’s work from the fine details to the community level.

After having followed Tusk from a distance for a while, I was one day passed one of the team’s email addresses so I got in touch offering my support in whatever way they needed. Cue my first time volunteering at the Tusk Awards and now the rest is history. I’ve always been intensely fascinated by the co-existence of nature and humankind, which led me to pursue a career in Sustainability. Tusk is a natural fit for me therefore and especially GenerationTusk, as I’m always trying to get the younger generations more involved in the future of our planet and the beautiful creatures that we share with it.

The incredible work of Tusk first captured my heart in 2014 when we chose them to be one of our charities on our world record attempt to play the highest game of cricket ever played in Mt Kilimanjaro’s crater! The more you hear & read about the complex topic of human-wildlife conflict in Africa, the more passionate I am to support Tusk and the projects they fund. It is our generation that needs to make the change to protect the world before it is too late.
There are lots of fun and fantastic ways to get involved and raise much needed funds for Tusk and our work in Africa. We’re here to support you along the way…
