Conservation Craftsmanship

For those with a heart for the natural world and an eye for detail, the TUSK miniatures may be small, but each animal figure, exquisitely crafted in sterling silver, is a masterpiece. These tiny replicas of the original menagerie produced in collaboration with TUSK aren’t simply beautiful centrepieces; they’re a gift that gives back, with 20% of the proceeds from each piece donated to TUSK to support their vitally important conservation work.

The Inspiration Behind Our Miniature Tusk Collection:

Global rhino populations are facing significant risks due to illegal poaching. Tusk's efforts are focused on establishing protected zones where these remarkable creatures can thrive. Our rhino is named in honour of the Kunene region in Namibia, known for its longstanding black rhino conservation program. This vital black rhino group, which has seen a recovery since the 1980s, is currently confronting an increased danger from poaching activities. Tusk supports the Save the Rhino Trust in their anti-poaching initiatives, aiming to safeguard these invaluable animals.

Elephants globally are endangered due to illegal ivory hunting. Our elephant is named after Kenya's Chyulu Hills, home to East Africa's largest elephant population, which is continuously at risk from ivory poaching. Tusk collaborates with the Big Life Foundation to implement surveillance and anti-poaching measures, resulting in a significant reduction in poaching since 2010. However, additional support is essential for this vital project to extend its protection across the extensive area it covers.

Elephants worldwide face critical risks from illegal hunting. This elephant has been named Gourma, after a region in Mali, which is home to a distinctive group of 550 sub-desert elephants. In 2017, estimates indicated that without a reduction in poaching, this entire group could be extinct by 2021. Tusk is supporting the Mali Elephant Project, an initiative that unites the community and has established a trained anti-poaching unit to safeguard the migration paths of these elephants. The continuation of this project is vital for the protection and survival of this vulnerable elephant population.

Lion populations globally are endangered due to poaching. Our lion is named in honour of South Luangwa, Zambia, a region confronting extensive poaching of large wildlife. Tusk's funding aids Conservation South Luangwa in enhancing their efforts against poaching and wildlife trafficking. Continued support is essential to maintain this critical work and to preserve the wildlife-rich environment of South Luangwa.
