Chad Restores Ties with Prince Harry's Conservation Charity Amid Controversies

Chad has reinstated its partnership with African Parks, a conservation organization linked to Prince Harry, less than two weeks after severing ties over allegations of poaching failure and lack of cooperation. The agreement now allows African Parks to manage Zakouma National Park and Ennedi Natural and Cultural Reserve in Chad, continuing their work in protecting Africa's natural landscapes. The move follows a period of intense dialogue aimed at mutual understanding. African Parks, which Prince Harry serves as a board member, manages around 20 parks across 12 countries. Despite past accusations from Chad's government regarding insufficient investment and issues such as poaching resurgence and employee abuse, the organization remains committed to conservation efforts. The reinstatement reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize conservation initiatives in Chad, amidst broader regional and political challenges.
