Prince Harry quits board of wildlife charity after rangers’ human rights abuses

Prince Harry, known as the Duke of Sussex, has decided to step down from the board of a major African wildlife charity. This charity is called African Parks, and Harry had been a trustee for this organization. His spokesperson confirmed this decision recently.

The reason for his departure is linked to a serious human rights **controversy**. Last year, African Parks publicly admitted that its rangers had committed human rights abuses. These abuses took place in the Republic of the Congo. The charity confirmed that its own staff, the rangers, were involved in these wrongdoings.

Despite leaving the board, Prince Harry's spokesperson emphasized that he remains an "active and **avid** supporter" of African Parks' mission. This means he still strongly believes in the charity's goals to protect wildlife. However, his decision to **resign** from the board highlights the seriousness of the issues involving the rangers. His resignation signals a clear response to the human rights problems that the charity faced.
