Prince Harry shares his passion for the environment and conservation at event with Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary animal and environmental conservationist.
Prince Harry shared his passion for the environment and conservation with young people from around the world Tuesday at an event with Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary animal and environmental conservationist.
Roots & Shoots is focused on empowering young people to make a difference in the environment. Goodall started the organization with just 12 students in Tanzania and it is now supported around the globe by over 700,000 participants who range in age from preschool to college, according to its website. "Dr. Goodall knew that if we had a generation of young people who didn’t care, who weren’t feeling empowered, then any effort for chimpanzees or the environment we share would be a waste," the spokesperson added.
Two years ago, Harry, now a dad to son Archie, spent nearly three weeks in Malawi helping to relocate 500 elephants in danger of being killed by poachers. Harry is also patron of Rhino Conservation Botswana, an organization that works to help build the populations of rhinos in the wild. Harry's conservation efforts, particularly in Africa, are expected to get even more of a high profile when he and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, visit South Africa this fall.
