A charity associated with Prince Harry has cut ties with an African country after a 15-year partnership due to its "disrespectful attitude toward the government”. The Duke of Sussex was the former president of African Parks, which Chad, a landlocked country at the crossroads of North and Central Africa, has axed a mandate with. The environment Minister, Hassan Bakhit Djamous, of the landlocked country at the crossroads of North and Central Africa, claimed that African Parks had shown "a recurring indelicate and disrespectful attitude toward the government".
He also said there had been an increase in poaching, as well as a lack of investment at the reserves managed by the non-profit conservation organisation. A spokesperson for African Parks said they were in discussions to "explore the best way forward to support the continued protection of these landscapes that are critical to conservation". Harry is now a board member of the charity, which was set up to reduce poaching, after previously being the president.
