The Wildlife Podcast Episode 6: The tip of the Tusk for African wildlife conservation   Supporting rangers, protecting wildlife and driving community development across Africa’s most incredible landscapes, the non-profit organisation Tusk has been working for decades to protect some of the most diverse and critically important ecosystems on planet Earth.    In this episode, join award-winning journalists Laurel Neme and Jeffrey Barbee as we talk to Tusk founder Charlie Mayhew and dive deep into how this small but incredibly impactful organization has been supporting communities who are the frontline protectors of Africa’s wildlife. We uncover how Tusk started, what its goals are, and how it has helped change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across Africa, while also saving critically endangered species.   From supporting wildlife rangers by providing insurance and critical skills training, to organizing one of Africa’s premier cross-country marathons, discover in this episode how one person’s passion created a continental conservation movement, and how you can be a part of it.   Discover more about Tusk’s successes: https://tusk.org/our-news Donate to Tusk: https://tusk.org/support-us/join-tusks-patrons-circle/ Tusk’s Website: https://tusk.org Our theme music was produced just for our show by the amazing Joey Morra, check him out on his website at: www.joeymorra.com
