Prince Harry Narrated Earth Day Video

On 22/04/2021, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, marked Earth Day by narrating a special re-release of the African Parks video titled “Hope Starts Here,” highlighting conservation efforts across the African continent. The video, originally produced by African Parks, was republished with Prince Harry’s voiceover to draw renewed attention to environmental protection and biodiversity preservation initiatives. Prince Harry has served as President of African Parks since 2017, an organization that manages protected areas in partnership with governments and local communities across Africa. The “Hope Starts Here” video focuses on the organization’s work to restore ecosystems, protect wildlife, and support local livelihoods. Through the narration, Prince Harry emphasized the interconnected role of communities and conservation efforts, underscoring how environmental protection can also contribute to economic and social stability. The Earth Day release aligned with global efforts on 22 April each year to raise awareness about environmental challenges. The video’s reissue aimed to engage a wider audience by combining visual documentation of conservation work with a prominent public figure’s involvement. African Parks manages more than a dozen national parks and protected areas across multiple countries, covering millions of hectares of land dedicated to conservation. The initiative formed part of broader Earth Day activities in 2021, during which organizations and public figures worldwide promoted climate action and sustainability. By participating in this campaign, Prince Harry contributed to amplifying messages about wildlife conservation and ecosystem restoration, particularly in regions where African Parks operates.
