On their recent trip to the South Pacific, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex dedicated two forest reserves in Tonga to the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy environmental initiative, which was started in 2015 and has been signed on to by 42 of the Commonwealth’s 53 countries.
Prince Harry said Tonga is leading by example and “understands deeply” the impact of environmental changes because the islands of the archipelago are directly affected.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan visited Tupou College to make the dedication, which was founded in 1866 and is believed to be the oldest in the region. The school is also home to the last remaining forest on Tonga’s main island, Tongatapu. The other reserve is on the island of Eua.
“Planting trees and conserving forests helps us in so many ways,” Harry said in his dedication. “It is a simple but effective way to restore and repair our environment, clean the air and protect habitat.”
The couple is currently a 16-day tour across four countries. Harry and wife Meghan are due back in Australia for the final days of the Invictus Games, which was founded in 2014 by Prince Harry. The games give sick and injured military personnel and veterans the opportunity to compete in sports.
