The Rhino Whisperer // Tusk Conservation x Defender
We were tasked with creating an emotive brand purpose piece for Land Rover Defender.
These vehicles have been doing amazing work across the world since the first Land Rover rolled off the production line in 1948. Defender has been closely supporting the conservation work of TUSK, a non-profit organisation set up to advance wildlife conservation across Africa.
The 'Rhino Whisperer is inspired by the true-life story of a little girl who realised her ambition to one day become Head Ranger of a wildlife conservancy, defending and protecting the African black rhino.
This is just one story within the enduring 20-year partnership between Defender and Tusk.
Filmed on the Tusk wildlife conservancies in Kenya with directors Paul Nevison and Jared Paisley.
Supporting Imagery
Created for print, poster, social and PR - following the incredible work of the rangers who are responsible for protecting the critically endangered rhinos. Defenders allow rangers and conservationists to monitor the animals from the safety of their vehicle and can carry everything they need wherever they roam across the wildlife reserves.

Wildlife conservancies such as Borana and Lewa in Kenya, play a vital role in these efforts with the support of Tusk. With 93,000 acres, the black rhino population across this landscape alone has grown from just 15 in 1983 to 264 today. Together these two conservancies are home to 12 percent of all of Kenya’s black rhinos.
