LONDON (Reuters) -A conservation charity which has Britain’s Prince Harry as a board member has been kicked off its projects in Chad after the Chadian government accused it of failing to protect wildlife.

Harry, King Charles’s younger son, was appointed to the governing board of African Parks (APN) in 2023 after seven years of involvement with the charity, which was set up to protect natural habits and wildlife.

Chad’s environment minister Hassan Bakhit Djamous said the decision to cut ties came in response to “the resurgence of poaching and the severe lack of investment” including in infrastructure and anti-poaching efforts, “the failure of APN to respect key clauses of the agreements” and “recurring irreverence shown towards the government of Chad”.
