Julius Obwona Winner of the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award, 2018

This award gives international recognition to the men and women who face danger every day to protect Africa’s wildlife. Rangers often work for little reward, risking and regularly losing their lives to protect the world’s wildlife and its fragile ecosystems.
This is only the third year of this award, which is generously sponsored by a private US Foundation. The winner receives a grant of £10,000 and a specially made bronze medal.
