Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award
This award gives international recognition to the men and women who face danger every day to protect Africa’s wildlife. Rangers often work for little reward, risking and regularly losing their lives to protect the world’s wildlife and its fragile ecosystems.
This is only the fourth year of this award, which is generously sponsored by Teresa and Stuart Graham. The winner receives a grant of £10,000 and a specially made bronze medal.
In 2019 the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award honoured the bravery and dedication of a man who leads the fight against poaching on Zambia’s frontline. Benson Kanyembo is a ranger’s ranger; physically tough, incredibly hardworking and resilient without seeking recognition or reward.
Watch the video below to hear Benson’ story below.
