African Parks

African Parks is a nonprofit organization dedicated to managing protected areas across 13 African nations, from Chad to Zimbabwe, in collaboration with local authorities. The organization has recently gained attention due to a human rights controversy. It was revealed that human rights abuses were committed by rangers working for African Parks in the Republic of the Congo. This admission followed an independent review into the incidents. As a consequence of this controversy, Prince Harry, a former trustee, has stepped down from the board of African Parks. The organization's work involves conservation and park management, and its current relevance is highlighted by these recent developments concerning accountability and ethical practices within its operations.
