Rian Labuschagne, Brighton Kumchedwa, Solomon Chidunuka and Lucky Ndlovu (pictured) were awarded the top prizes at the fifth annual Tusk Conservation Awards held in Cape Town last year. Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu presented Labuschagne with the Prince William Award for Conservation, while South Africa’s former First Lady Graça Machel awarded Kumchedwa with the Land Rover-sponsored Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa. Chidunuka and Ndlovu were joint winners of the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award. Archbishop Tutu said: “Here we realise just how much we are linked with all of nature. We wish to congratulate you most warmly for making it clear Africa can be beautiful.”
