Batswana involved in wildlife conservation have been invited to submit nominations for the 2026 Tusk Conservation Awards, the prestigious platform for identifying, celebrating, and funding Africa’s most visionary, inspiring, and dedicated conservation leaders, offering £225,000 in grants.

In a statement, the Awards organisers said nominations opened on February for the 14th annual edition of the event.
