Prince William delivered his first speech as heir to the British throne at a wildlife protection summit, signaling that the royal family will continue to champion environmental causes as King Charles III is forced to step back from front-line campaigning.
William cited the recent conviction of a 49-year-old man on wildlife trafficking charges as an example of the way agencies are working across borders to tackle the problem.
Kromah, 49, was extradited to New York from Uganda in 2019. He pled guilty to three wildlife trafficking charges earlier this year and was sentenced to 63 months in jail. “Anton dedicated himself to the protection of wildlife, undertaking his role diligently and professionally despite threats to his life,” the prince said. “He stood up to violent criminals and paid the ultimate price. It is only right that we pay tribute to him and all the other selfless rangers and frontline conservationists here today.
While Charles has acknowledged he will have to be more careful with his public statements now that he is king, he has also made clear that he planned to pass on the baton.
