There were many highlights to our work in 2021.
Tusk events
The amazing energy and enthusiasm of our donors was unwavering in 2021. Our work would not be possible without the funds raised by the dedicated Tusk donors who took part in, or supported, Tusk’s events and appeals. With an exciting roster of events set for 2022, there are lots of ways you can support wildlife conservation in the coming year.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge In December, Tusk took part in the UK's biggest digital matched fundraising campaign, the Big Give Christmas Challenge. The appeal aimed to support wildlife rangers and anti-poaching programmes in Zambia, keeping anti-poaching patrols active for Conservation Lower Zambezi and Conservation South Luangwa. Thanks to your support, the appeal raised an incredible £54,592!.
Tusk Conservation Awards
The 2021 Tusk Conservation Awards returned as an in-person event for the first time since the pandemic began. It is always our honour to be able to shine a light on the working of leaders in African conservation. 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of the Awards and will take place at the magnificent Hampton Court Palace.

GenerationTusk Comedy Night
The GenerationTusk committee organised another hilarious evening in October, generously hosted by Ivo Graham and friends, including Darren Harriott & Rhys James. There were laughs from start to end, with a successful raffle to round up the night, raising almost £11k. Thanks to all who joined us.

Tusk Arctic Challenge 2022
In January, 16 avid explorers Nordic skied through the Arctic and challenged themselves in the freezing temperatures to raise funds for Tusk. The team, mostly made up of Vodafone employees, and our very own CEO, Charlie Mayhew, raised £100,000 for conservation efforts across Africa. Huge thanks to Charlie Perring/Drift Travel & Vodafone Foundation. Email hannah@tusk.org to enquire about next year.

We’re looking forward to the upcoming Tusk Ball on Thursday 19th May 2022 at London’s iconic Natural History Museum. Generously sponsored by ISPS Handa, guests will enjoy a champagne reception, dinner, live music from Jack Savoretti and our live and silent auctions, before dancing the night away. All funds raised through the evening will support conservation efforts across Africa. • Date: 19th May 2022 • Location: Natural History Museum, London
