Fotografia cu care prințul Harry a înduioșat întreaga lume

Aflat în Africa de Sud, prințul Harry a postat pe contul oficial de Instagram al familiei regale o fotografie în care apare îmbrățișând trupul sedat al unui elefant, alături de un mesaj în care îndeamnă la descurajarea braconajului.

 

Prince Harry has released this personal photo taken during his summer visit to southern Africa. Here Prince Harry shares his story behind the photograph... "After a very long day in Kruger National Park, with five rhinos sent to new homes and three elephants freed from their collars - like this sedated female - I decided to take a moment. I know how lucky I am to have these experiences, but hearing stories from people on the ground about how bad the situation really is, upset and frustrated me. How can it be that 30,000 elephants were slaughtered last year alone? None of them had names, so do we not care? And for what? Their tusks? Seeing huge carcasses of rhinos and elephants scattered across Africa, with their horns and tusks missing is a pointless waste of beauty." Photograph © Prince Harry
