In the press release with the video, Prince Harry added: "As we now begin to move towards an era of global recovery and regeneration, it's critical that we continue to look at the strengthening and protecting of biodiversity, not just as a value we hold—but as a responsibility that is vital to our way of life."
Following the tribute to his late grandfather, Harry's statement concluded: "This year especially, I join the incredible African Parks team and communities around the world in shared dedication to our environment and collective wellbeing."
