Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Share New Photos From Their Elephant Conservation Trip

In honor of World Elephant Day, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have shared on Instagram memories from their conservation work with Elephants Without Borders (EWB).

The couple visited Botswana two years ago to assist Mike Chase, founder of the organization, in tracking the animals to help protect them from poaching. Although they previously posted photos from the trip in April, they unveiled more images today to share good news about the charity's progress in the past month.

Ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex followed and highlighted EWB on Instagram in July, their fans and The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund have helped the organization fit 25 elephants with navigation collars.

"These collars allow the team at EWB to track the elephants, as well as to learn their essential migratory patterns to keep their corridors safe and open so future generations of elephants can roam freely," part of the Sussexes' Instagram caption reads.

Photos show Harry—dressed in an army green shirt, dark shorts, and a baseball cap—toting supplies over to an elephant in the wild. Another image shows Meghan's hands, decked out in various rings, gently holding the end of an elephant's trunk.

Back in April, Harry and Meghan shared a photo of themselves placing a tracking collar on a sedated elephant. "The elephant pictured was sedated for just 10 minutes before he was up and back with his herd," they explained in their post. "Tracking his movements has allowed conservationists to better protect him and other elephants and ensure heightened protection for these beautiful creatures moving forward."

The duke's work with EWB is just a part of his overall dedication to conservation and sustainability. He recently spoke with Jane Goodall about protecting the planet and its resources for future generations. "I truly believe that the heart of conservation and sustainability is about people," he said at a meeting with the anthropologist at Windsor Castle.
