In a rare interview with the BBC, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has spoken out about the scale of poaching taking place across Africa, calling those who participate "extremely ignorant, selfish and utterly wrong."
He told the BBC that he was lending his voice to the cause, because the conservation world "is a softly-spoken one [that] needs a little bit of help every now and then."
He added that it's an area he's always been particularly interested in and with which he's always wanted to help.
The Duke told BBC's Kate Silverton that elephant and rhino are two of the most widely poached animals on the planet and that "if we don't do something about them, it's going to be a tragic loss for everyone."
Prince William is Royal Patron of Tusk Trust, one of the groups involved in the relocation.

Returning during that first week in the New Year will ruin any canche of a real saver and departing any later than 19th is a killer too. If you can extend your trip and return on the Monday, you can get flights with US Airways for around a3500 return.Otherwise, the cheapest I can find is a3532 round-trip from Manchester to MIA. However you would have to connect in London and then again in Washington. That is with United The return is easier, MIA to Frankfurt and then onto Manchester with Lufthansa. However, if you can get down to London (LGW), the flights are much better. For the dates you requested, a3512 round-trip. One connection in Charlotte and that is with U.S. airways.Either way, you still save around a3100 per person and you won't find anything much cheaper than that at this time of the year. |
