Land Rover has announced the Defender Awards – a new initiative which will see a £100,000 bursary, a Defender vehicle and expert mentorship donated to a chosen small conservation or humanitarian organisation in each of seven countries around the world – the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan and South Africa.
The chosen charities will be those which can make good use of their Defender’s ability to ‘support vital, frontline work in hard-to-reach locations.’ Entries are currently being invited from programmes whose work falls into one of
four categories:
• Defenders of the Wild: For projects committed to helping protect endangered and at-risk species, whatever their size.
The mission is to help protect indigenous species of all kinds.
• Defenders of Humanity: For projects which support people and communities in their time of need. The mission is to
help vulnerable communities thrive – and to help them prepare for, respond to and recover from crises, whenever and
wherever they strike.
