Prince Harry Halts Operations with Chad Wildlife Conservation Charity: Why? 🧐
I was quite surprised to hear this news too! 😮 African Parks (APN), led by Prince Harry, has ceased cooperation with the Chadian government. What exactly happened? Many people seem to be keenly interested in the news of a conflict arising between a wildlife conservation organization with an important mission and the government.
Hello everyone! Today, I want to share some truly fascinating international news with you. It concerns the wildlife conservation charity African Parks (APN), where Prince Harry serves as a board member, and the Chadian government. I was very intrigued when I saw these reports. 🧐
Chad Declares End to Relations with APN: What's the Reason?
Hassan Bakhit Jamouse, Chad's Minister of Environment, recently announced the decision to suspend cooperation with APN. APN is an organization established for the protection of natural habitats and wildlife, and Prince Harry was appointed to its board in 2023 after seven years of involvement. APN has managed several projects in Chad.
This decision was made after the Chadian government claimed that APN failed to adequately protect wildlife. Specifically, the reasons cited were 'resurgence of poaching and a severe lack of investment.' This appears to include insufficient investment in infrastructure development and anti-poaching efforts.
What are the Government's Main Grievances?
Minister Hassan Bakhit Jamouse also pointed out that APN failed to properly implement key provisions of the agreement and exhibited 'repeated disrespect' towards the Chadian government. 😔 It seems these combined reasons led to the outcome.

Wildlife Conservation, Not an Easy Task 😥
African Parks (APN) has been working to conserve wildlife in Chad, but this situation once again highlights how complex and challenging international wildlife conservation efforts can be. In particular, poaching and lack of investment are common difficulties faced by many African countries. 🇰🇪🇿🇦
I personally have a strong interest in wildlife conservation and believe that the efforts of many people and international cooperation are essential to protect endangered animals. We will need to observe how this incident will affect APN, the Chadian government, and broader wildlife conservation activities going forward.
