Another Prince Harry charity is facing scrutiny as the country cuts ties

Chad has reportedly ended its 15-year partnership with the African Parks Group, a conservation group associated with it. Prince HarryUnder the pretext of weak efforts to combat poaching and “lack of respect” towards the government.

The decision represents another setback for the Duke of Sussex, who also left his charity Sentebale earlier this year.

On the other hand, Prince Harry recently appeared in the UNAIDS campaign to urge renewed global commitment to eliminating HIV/AIDS by 2030.

Chad announced it would end its partnership with African Parks, a conservation non-profit linked to Prince Harry, accusing the group of failing to curb poaching and showing a “repeated and disrespectful attitude towards the government”.

According to Environment Minister Hassan Bakhit Jamous, wildlife crimes have escalated again in the areas supervised by the organization, due to insufficient funding and insufficient procedures to protect reserves.

African Parks, which has managed the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve and the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem for 15 years, said it was engaging with officials “to understand the government’s position” and “explore the best way forward to support the continued protection of these landscapes that are essential to environmental conservation.”

This step, for each New York Postends a 15-year collaboration between Chad and African Parks, which is tasked with protecting wildlife and rebuilding elephant populations in key conservation areas, including the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve and the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem, home to Zakouma and Senyaka-Elminya National Parks.

Harry, who joined African Parks in 2016, now serves on its board after spending six years as president of the organisation.

The non-profit organization, which manages 22 protected areas in 12 African countries, was responsible for the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve in Chad and the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem.

However, the charity has faced increasing controversy in recent months. Earlier this year, African Parks admitted that some employees at a park in the Republic of Congo abused members of neighboring communities and later declined to release an independent report on the incident.

The Chadian government officially notified the organization of its “unilateral decision” to end their partnership in an official letter from Environment Minister Hassan Bakhit Jamous on Monday.

The move represents another setback for Harry’s charity work, following his departure earlier this year from the Sentebale charity he co-founded to support children with AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana.

In a separate effort last month, Harry joined global figures including Charlize Theron and Magic Johnson in a UNAIDS campaign to urge world leaders to refund programs to combat HIV and AIDS.

In a new UNAIDS film shown at the UN Assembly in New York, the Duke of Sussex urged world leaders to renew their commitment to eliminating AIDS by 2030.

“Without urgent action, we will go backwards,” Harry warned, warning that funding cuts were already impacting prevention and treatment efforts around the world.

The project builds on Harry’s long-standing work in HIV advocacy, including founding Sentebale in 2006, although he stepped down from the role of patron earlier this year amid a row with the charity’s chairman.

Harry’s dedication mirrors that of his late mother, Princess Diana, who was celebrated for challenging the stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS.
