Story
Thank you very much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
For those of you that do not know us personally, we are three brothers: Louis (26), Felix (25) and Finn (23) from the New Forest and in December we will be taking part in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in support of Tusk.
For more than three decades, Tusk has supported and amplified the impact of progressive conservation action across Africa. Under the Royal Patronage of HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the charity has raised and invested over $100m into conservation and community livelihoods programmes spanning the continent.
Across the Plains of the Serengeti, through the arid deserts of Namibia to the rainforests of the Congo basin, Tusk works for a future in which people and wildlife can thrive, and where those who safeguard Africa’s heritage are valued and celebrated. The devastating economic impact of Covid-19 on jobs and livelihoods within the conservation and tourism sectors across Africa has made Tusk’s work even more vital and urgent.
The charity currently supports work of some 50 pioneering conservation initiatives in more than 20 countries, increasing vital protection for over 70 million hectares of land and multiple species under threat. From the iconic savanna wandering elephant and wild dog to the elusive forest-dwelling okapi and mountain gorilla, Tusks invests in targeted efforts to bring Africa’s endangered back from the brink of extinction. Importantly, projects are not just to protect wildlife, but to contribute to education and support the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people through sustainable community programmes.
Thank you again for taking the time to visit our page, and we are incredibly grateful for all donations. If you have any questions about the challenge or the charity please do not hesitate to contact any of us personally or drop us an email to info@ambrosebuoys.com.
Thank you!
