The Tusk Awards, established in partnership with Investec Asset Management, recognise and highlight the work of dedicated conservationists across Africa. Dr Alasdair Harris received a Highly Commended prize in the inaugural year of this award from HRH The Duke of Cambridge for his work with communities along the Madagascar coast, as founder and executive director of Blue Ventures Conservation. Harris’s initiatives protect marine biodiversity and safeguard traditional coastal livelihoods, creating a thriving new marine conservation movement in the region.
