Another Prince Harry Charity In Ruins, African Parks Admits Human Rights Abuses

British royal family news divulges that another one of Prince Harry’s charities is going down in flames after the Baka community alleged severe human rights abuses against African Parks rangers.

Prince Harry is on the board of directors for African Park Rangers, a conservation charity linked that has admitted that its rangers in Congo-Brazzaville are guilty of human rights abuses, following an independent review.

Charity Linked to Prince Harry Admits Human Rights Abuse

The Mail on Sunday brought the criminal activity to light last year in a report detailing how “community members accused African Parks rangers of beating, waterboarding and raping locals to stop them from accessing their ancestral forests, which are now in a conservation area.”

The story was widely disseminated on social media while mainstream media largely stayed away from the controversy.

Prince Harry Connected to Human Rights Abuse

African Parks has not made the findings of the review public but instead “published a statement acknowledging that human rights abuses occurred in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, which it manages. It has excluded details of the abuse.”

The review conducted by Omnia Strategy LLP was given directly to African Parks and the LLP said in a statement that their independent investigation began in December 2023.

Prince Harry’s African Parks Scandal

Prince Harry is a board member for African Parks and has been involved with the charity since 2016. After six years as president he became a member of the Board of Directors.

The charity Survival International had asked Prince Harry to address the abuse of the Baka people; The BBC has requested comment from Prince Harry who thus far has not responded.

In spite of the damning review, African Parks claims it had improved its “safeguarding processes in the past five years both in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park and institutionally.”

This includes hiring an anthropologist to work with the Baka communities and they now say they will conduct a human rights impact assessment.

Survival claims that African Parks, which is based in Johannesburg, was aware of abuses of the Baka people beginning in 2013. African Parks is supported by the European Union, Howard Buffett, son of Warren Buffet, and Rob Walton, heir to the Walmart fortune.
