SEE PRINCE HARRY'S INTERESTING PICTURES OF HIS SUMMER IN AFRICA


PRINCE HARRY WITH A RHINO CARCASS

At the end of his tour of southern Africa, Prince Harry has shared some personal photos, videos and adventure stories from his time there, working with rangers and other conservation workers in Southern Africa. He also highlights projects which aim to protect Africa’s most endangered animals.

In these pictures Prince Harry can be seen assisting to save a cruelly mutilated rhino and dehorn rhinos in order to make them less of a target for poachers. Another picture has him snoozing on a sedated elephant. Yet another picture shows a female rhino named Zawadi which his brother Prince William fed in an English reserve three years ago before its relocation to a sanctuary in Tanzania. Harry 31, said in his personal caption for the picture. "She goes nuts for carrots and I loved being able to send William this photo."

He is a patron of wildlife conservation with his brother William and has spent three months in several African countries this summer working on conservation projects while seeking to highlight their conservation work and skills on his visit Wednesday to the Kruger National Park.
Harry’s visit to Lesotho and South Africa is on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II and Sentebale, his African children's charity. He was at the Kruger National Park today to highlight anti-poaching efforts aimed at protecting South Africa's most endangered animals, such as rhinos and elephants.
In a speech, Harry stated that Kruger was one of the most beautiful places on Earth noting that its animals were a huge part of South Africa's economy. He said in Africa 80% of tourism revenue was dependent on people coming to see iconic wildlife such as in Kruger but the park had in recent years become a major killing field.
He stated that already in 2015 about 1,500 rhinos have been killed in South Africa at an average of four per day. He further noted that if the current poaching rates continued no wild African elephants or rhinos would be left by the time children born in 2015, like his niece, (Princess) Charlotte, turned 25 and if left to happen, the impact on the long term prosperity of South Africa and on the natural heritage of the planet would be enormous and irreversible.
Harry spoke in praise of the conservation efforts and announced plans to partner with and provide significant funding to help train rangers protecting Southern Africa's endangered wildlife.
