Podcast 41 - Prince Harry's interview on the New “WaterBear” Streaming Network

In his role as president of the NGO, African Parks, Prince Harry was interviewed by the CEO and by the Head of Strategy for the newly launched environmental streaming network WaterBear. 

Prince Harry has been president of African Parks since 2017. In a nutshell the African Parks conservation organization takes on direct responsibility for the rehabilitation and long-term management of protected areas in various countries in Africa, working in partnership with governments and local communities. But they do much more than protect the parks and the wildlife. 

I would encourage you to check out their website to read about the good work that African Parks do, and to view some beautifully shot videos of the various parks in Africa at  https://www.africanparks.org/

Prince Harry was interviewed to help launch the free WaterBear streaming service.

WaterBear advertises itself as being dedicated to documentaries about environmental issues, conservation and the climate crisis. The network is set up to be interactive. Not only can you stream and watch free of charge award winning documentaries and short films, but viewers can connect directly with charities and can donate money or their time through advocacy and volunteering. 

In the Prince Harry interview:

• Prince Harry was asked whether his love for nature was something he always had or was it from some sort of epiphany?
• Harry spoke of how he was drawn to work with the African Parks NGO by the people in that organization. 
• Harry was asked about his fondness for Africa and how this came about. 

In promoting the WaterBear network Harry expressed feeling story telling was a good way to make people aware of issues and to make people passionate about conservation causes, but more importantly the Network would allow people to directly connect with over 80 NGO’s and put their passion into action.
