Prince Harry, in his three-week stint in Malawi, has joined the '500 Elephants' initiative which is described as one of the largest and most significant elephant translocations in conservation history. The aim is to protect herds by making sure there is a balance between the elephant populations and the available habitat. The project involved moving up to 500 elephants over 350 kilometres across Malawi from Liwonde National Park and Majete Wildlife Reserve to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. African Parks is a conservation NGO that manages protected areas and national parks on behalf of governments.
