PRINCE Harry is to spend the rest of the summer working on front-line wildlife conservation projects in southern Africa.
It will be the second summer running that Harry will spend time in Africa, following a programme designed with the help of experts’ help.
Harry, who left the Army last summer after 10 years as an officer, is in Africa at the moment and is expected to remain on the continent for a number of weeks.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: “One of the projects he will work with is African Parks’ ‘500 elephants’ initiative, which will see one of the largest and most significant elephant trans-locations in conservation history.
“Up to 500 elephants will be moved to a wildlife reserve in central Malawi from two parks in the southern part of the country.
“The elephants are being moved to reduce pressure on the habitat and alleviate human wildlife conflict while helping to repopulate the local herd in their new home. In the future, The reserve may also help restore elephant populations in other parts of Africa, where numbers have significantly declined due to poaching.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
