On Monday, Prince William attended the Tusk Conservation Awards in London to honor animal conservationists, according to PEOPLE.
At the event, the prince not only handed awards but also gave a special speech to the recipients and members of the trust who were in attendance.
“Earlier this evening I spent time chatting to the award winners and finalists. Their courage, determination, and commitment to African conservation is deeply humbling,” he said.
“As ever, it has been fantastic to see their outstanding work on the big screen. These wonderful films really bring their powerful and inspiring stories to life,” added the heir to the British throne.
Highlighting the impact of COVID-19 in Africa, William said, “The world has been turned upside down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Africa has been hard hit, as economies, jobs, and livelihoods have been devastated by lockdowns and travel restrictions.”
“Many of the Tusk projects I have been lucky enough to visit have been hugely impacted, particularly where there is a dependence on tourism to underpin their conservation work. The work that Tusk does has never been more important.”
