Prince Harry formalized his involvement in safeguarding the rhinoceros by becoming the new and first Royal Patron of the Rhino Conservation Botswana.

Prince Harry told the American magazine "Town and Country" that he felt more at ease in Africa. Apparently, the young son of Prince Charles and the late Lady Diana is not ready to stop going to this continent. Already involved in Lesotho and Botswana with his Sentebale Foundation - which helps vulnerable children, especially those who are HIV-positive and / or whose parents have died from AIDS-, the thirty-year-old has taken on a new responsibility in Africa. The Rhino Conservation Botswana (RCB) announced on Thursday January 19th 2017 that Harry was now their new royal patron.

THe Rhino Conservation Botswana monitors and protects black and white rhinoceros from southern Africa and moves them to Botswana. "Here, thanks to strong anti-poaching laws of the government and the support of the army, rhinoceros can prosper - and ultimately one of the last great hopes for the survival of their race," says the association on its site Internet.

The news was immediately relayed on the Kensington Palace's Twitter and an opportunity to publish several photographs of the younger Wales actively participating in September 2016 in a Rhino Conservation Botswana operation to equip electronic monitoring devices for critically endangered black rhinoceroses.

A video was also shared. Prince Harry is seen in action with his friends the rhinos during this mission in the Okavango Delta. In this film, the young man, who now shares the life of American actress Meghan Markle, says: "This is one of the most emblematic species in Africa ... If we can not save these animals, What can we save? "

Regarding his new "royal patron", the Rhino Conservation Botswana points out on its website that it has highlighted: "I have been lucky enough to visit Botswana for more than 20 years and I am incredibly happy to be able to 'Call it my second home. Being the Patron of RCB is the opportunity to give something back to a country that gave me a lot. " He added: "It is time for us to start honoring and supporting countries that take the lead in conservation."
