Chad cuts ties with wildlife charity linked to Prince Harry
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A conservation charity in which Prince Harry is a member of the board of directors has had its agreement to manage protected parks in Chad terminated. The country's government has accused African Parks of serious financial misconduct, a disrespectful attitude and failing to curb poaching. The Duke of Sussex has been involved with the organisation since 2016 as president, before joining its board in 2023. Within Chad, the charity was responsible for protecting two wildlife reserves, the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and operates without paywalls. Donations enable reporters to travel, interview across the political spectrum and produce documentaries such as 'The A Word'. African Parks, where Prince Harry served as president from 2016 and joined the board in 2023, had a 15-year partnership in Chad terminated with immediate effect. Chad's environment minister accused the charity of serious financial misconduct, use of Isle of Man bank accounts, transferring capital abroad to Chad's detriment, maintaining unaudited accounts, showing a disrespectful attitude and failing to curb poaching. The charity managed the Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve and other protected areas.
