  Prince Harry is facing renewed public scrutiny following fresh allegations tied to African Parks, the conservation charity where he has served in leadership roles for several years. The controversy centers around accusations involving abuse and violence against indigenous Baka communities living near protected national park regions managed by African Parks in Central Africa. Human rights organizations and advocacy groups have continued raising concerns over the conduct of armed rangers connected to the organization, leading to growing calls for stronger accountability measures. The issue first gained major international attention after investigative reporting alleged that members of local indigenous communities had experienced violence, mistreatment, and displacement linked to anti-poaching operations in protected forest areas.

In early October, Chad’s environment ministry abruptly terminated a 15-year partnership with African Parks, the high-profile NGO on whose board Harry serves, alleging financial impropriety, opaque practices, and a failure to involve local stakeholders. The ministry’s language was blistering, framing African Parks’ approach as carrying a “whiff of neocolonialism.” African Parks says it wants dialogue and points to years of investment and anti-poaching work.
