Prince Harry has formally departed from the governing board of African Parks, a prominent wildlife preservation organisation that has faced scrutiny over human rights violations. A representative for the Duke of Sussex verified that he has concluded his tenure as a trustee for the conservation group. The decision comes after the charity acknowledged the previous year that rangers under its management had carried out human rights abuses within the Republic of the Congo. Despite stepping down from his official governance position, Prince Harry continues to be an enthusiastic proponent of the organisation's overall conservation goals, according to his spokesperson.
