In a powerful demonstration of unity and purpose, The Prince of Wales, recently attended the 12th annual Tusk Conservation Awards. He was joined by the esteemed actor, Idris Elba. The event was held at The Savoy Hotel in London on 27 November 2024, and aimed to honour African conservation, to hammer home the point for the vital collective action to champion the cause of wildlife conservation in Africa.

We live in a world in which incredible wildlife exist and I want this for the generation that follows. You give us all the optimism for the future of our planet.”
