Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Director NatureUganda, Mr Achilles Brunnel Byaruhanga has won the Tusk Conservation Award. The annual award which honours Africa\u2019s conservation leaders in partnership with Ninety One, not only celebrated the unsung conservation heroes of Africa, but also marked the 10th year of the awards.<\/p>\n

The prestigious event was attended by the charity’s Royal Patron, the Prince of Wales, who launched the inaugural awards in 2013. Prince William took to the stage to honour the extraordinary men and women dedicated to the protection of Africa’s natural heritage and presented this year’s award winners with their trophies.<\/p>\n

Other award winners include; Ian Craig (Kenya), Miguel Gonc\u0327alves (Mozambique) and Neddy Mulimo (Zambia) and each of the four winners received a trophy specially crafted by Patrick Mavros, and all finalists received grants totalling \u00a3345,000 to continue their vital work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Sir David Attenborough reminded us at this ceremony five years ago, Africa\u2019s wildlife is truly special. What the Awards alumni, their dedicated teams and local communities are protecting is \u2018one of the great natural treasures of the world\u2019. And yet, we also know that it is just a fragment of what they once were. That is why it is vital that we do everything in our power to halt the frightening decline in species that our planet has witnessed over the last 50 years,\u201d Prince William remarked.<\/p>\n

Mr Byaruhanga said: \u201cConservation is not an event. It\u2019s a process that takes a long time and communities are crucial. We are connected with people. We see the overall power is with the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The awards\u2019 10th year comes at a critical time for conservation. Major upcoming global biodiversity summits – including the CITES conference in Panama in November and the UN Biodiversity Conference in Canada in December – will see the future of Africa\u2019s wildlife and protected species take centre stage.<\/p>\n

The very real threat to African conservation continues as at-risk wildlife and communities face increasing pressure from climate change, human-wildlife conflict and the ongoing legacy of Covid-19. Through the recognition of and support given to award recipients, Tusk aims to raise the profile of African leaders to advance conservation and their significant impact in the field across Africa.<\/p>\n

Tusk is uniquely positioned to bring together African conservation leaders with the influence, passion and expertise to implement the plans forged at these summits. The Tusk Awards celebrates these individuals and their potential to tackle the greatest threats to the continent\u2019s biodiversity.<\/p>\n
