The Duke of Cambridge is to gave a keynote address at Time For Change, an important multi-city event taking place on the eve of one of the most crucial international conferences on the protection of endangered species in many years. Time For Change is being organised by the conservation charity, Tusk, of which His Royal Highness is Royal Patron.
The Duke will speak at The View from The Shard in London, with other contributors taking part via satellite link-up from Tokyo and Johannesburg. The entire event will be live streamed. The aim is to draw global attention to the continuing threat to many of the world’s species from the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT), and the need to maintain momentum in tackling the issue.
Time For Change will take place as government delegates from all over the world gather in South Africa for the 17th meeting of parties to the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
