The Queen‘s grandson, Prince William, at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park earlier this month in Lympne, England.
During his visit, the 29-year-old Duke of Cambridge met with BBC’s Kate Silverton and fed a 5-year-old black rhino named Zawadi. She’s one of three rhinos that have since been relocated to the wild in Tanzania.
William, a patron of wildlife conservation group Tusk Trust, is a dedicated campaigner against poaching.

QuotePRINCE William and Prince Charles met global conservation leaders at London Zoo today to discuss how drones and other new technology can help end wildlife poaching.

William, 31, is determined to use part of his transitional year between leaving the RAF and starting a new, as yet undefined, role in public service in working to help the illegal trade in wildlife that is threatening species such as tigers, elephants, and rhino with extinction.

He has become president of United for Wildlife, a new alliance of seven leading conservation bodies working to end poaching.

The Duke of Cambridge yesterday called on the world to halt Africa's "poaching epidemic" after he joined Labour leader Ed Miliband in becoming the latest public figures to back The Independent on Sunday's Christmas appeal.

The campaign, with support from our sister newspapers The Independent, the i paper and the Evening Standard, is raising funds to combat the illegal ivory trade presently killing around 100 elephants a day.

Prince William recently established United for Wildlife, an alliance of seven leading conservation bodies, to try to end poaching. He has previously warned that the "catastrophe" facing rhinos and other species could make them extinct within our lifetime.

Prince William and David Beckham to launch new United for Wildlife campaign

QuoteThe Duke of Cambridge, who is President of Unite for Wildlife, will launch the latest #WhoseSideAreYouOn campaign at Google Town Hall in London on Monday 9th June.

The campaign harnesses the power of sport to raise awareness of conservation issues around the world and the Duke will be joined by David Beckham at the campaign's launch. The footballer heads a team of high profile sporting stars backing this campaign to engage young people's support on social networks to combat the illegal trade in wildlife products.

#WhoseSideAreYouOn is a new campaign for United for Wildlife and asks the next generation to decide on which side they are on; the side of critically endangered species or the criminals who kill them for money? It is not only David Beckham who is supporting the campaign; Andy Murray, Rahul Dravid and Francois Piennaar, among others, are also lending their support.

Duke of Cambridge joined by David Beckham as they launch new United for Wildlife campaign

QuotePRINCE William was joined by David Beckham as they launched a new wildlife campaign together.

The pair came together at Google's London Headquarters today where they presented the £WhoseSideAreYouOn initiative - a campaign which will use social media to raise the profile of the "devastating" effects of poaching.

The Duke, 31, who sat beside Beckham on the stage at the central London event, gave a short speech in which he spoke of how the "illegal wildlife trade thrives because it is hidden, often invisible, making it easy for criminals".

Beckham, who addressed the specially invited audience of conservationists and campaigners after William, said he had been "honoured" to be asked to get involved by the royal.

Royalty, environment a natural partnership

QuoteThe numerous partnerships between royal patrons and organizations devoted to the protection of the natural world demonstrate the unique perspective that royalty brings to the table in the 21st century.

Since Prince William and his fellow members of the world's royal houses do not have to face a four-or five-year election cycle, they are free to focus his energies on long-term causes where progress occurs over the course of decades rather than months or years. Representatives of world's monarchies have a vested interest in ensuring the long-term survival of the planet as they envision their descendants in their positions for centuries to come.

An interesting article from last year discussing William's involvement in United for Wildlife and how it is a natural fit for royals to be involved in environmental conservation.

Thanks for the article Macrobug.I agree with Harris that royalty can use their influence to bring attention to different causes and this is what we see happening with the need to end the illegal wildlife trade.
