People and nature benefit mutually through a range of conservation projects funded by Tusk Trust. The organization works in rural areas of Africa with the individuals who live closest to the continent's wildlife. Schools, clinics, clean water projects, roads, bridges, and airfield are all developed with the protection of endangered species and the environment in mind:
"The Mukuu Spring water project in north Kenya is a case in point. At Mukuu a low technological water pump has been installed in the community spring to provide a clean and reliable source for the community and its livestock." -Tusk TrustThe charity's focus is dedicated to substantial funding for the protection of many threatened animals like the elephant, rhino, cheetah, chimpanzee, mountain and lowland gorillas, giant sable and even marine species like turtles. Protecting Africa's rich natural heritage is why sustainable development is so important. Tusk Trust projects encourage education and help alleviate poverty.
Eighty percent of the money raised by Tusk Trust goes directly to their field work.
