Congratulations to the man of the hour, Simson!Uri-≠Khob for winning the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa, in recognition of the 30 years he has worked to save black rhinos, and in his role as Chief Executive Officer of Save the Rhino Trust in Nambia (SRT).

This is a lifetime achievement award that recognizes outstanding dedication and exceptional contribution to conservation in Africa. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, who launched the annual TUSK Conservation Awards in 2013 in his role as royal patron of the Tusk Trust, handed over the awards with honour and a few words, “our wildlife plays a vital role in keeping nature in balance and maintaining this precious cycle of life.” Said his Royal Highness.
