# Nominations are open for the Defender Awards, spotlighting South Africa’s grassroots changemakers. Categories include wildlife, community, land, and ocean defenders. Launched by iconic brand Defender, the initiative offers over two-million-rand, a vehicle, and expert support to one standout local organisation. The trio of Ross Holgate of the Kingsley Holgate Foundation, Ivy Wairimu from Tusk, and Springbok legend Bryan Habana will join an international panel of experts to help select the finalists. Entries close on Monday.
