Prince William Highlights Urgency of Combatting Illegal Wildlife Trade in Cape Town
During a recent speech at a United for Wildlife summit in Cape Town, Prince William emphasized the urgent need to combat illegal wildlife trade, citing its far-reaching impacts on conservation efforts. He introduced a life insurance initiative aimed at protecting around 10,000 anti-poaching rangers across Africa, recognizing their essential role in preserving biodiversity. The prince honored fallen ranger Anton Mzimba, who was tragically killed while protecting wildlife. With the current ranger workforce insufficient to meet conservation goals, Prince William advocates for enhanced support and resources to bolster their efforts.
