Accelerating African-driven conservation.

Our vision is an Africa in which biodiversity flourishes and people thrive. It's success depends on a future for healthy habitats that sustain life and meet the needs of communities. (1/3)

A privilege to catch sight of a leopard- this big male was remarkably chilled in the early morning light over Grumeti Reserve this morning. Huge thanks to the amazing @grumetifund team for hosting & showing me their impressive conservation & community in the Serengeti. @tusk_org

There are two species of hippos: the common hippo and the pygmy hippo... can you guess which one is pictured? 📸

[Tusk @tusk_org]

Today we celebrate #WorldHippoDay!
Hippos have extremely thick but sensitive skin; they spend most daylight hours immersed in or covered in mud to protect themselves from burning ☀️

[Tusk @tusk_org]

Their feeding shapes vegetation patterns along the water edge, and their dung contributes to aquatic food web. Despite their 'cute' exterior, hippos are one of the largest land mammals and are known to be highly territorial and very dangerous.
