Prince Charles urges conservation
On the last full day of his South Africa tour with wife Camilla, Britain's Prince Charles took a break from sight-seeing in South Africa on Saturday to deliver a call to save the planet's natural resources, news24.com reports. Charles said that an "unholy combination" of climate change, increasing food demand and intensifying urban development is jeopardising the planet's health.
Speaking at the University of Cape Town (UCT), Prince Charles is reported by news24.com to have said: "There is mounting evidence that, worldwide, we cannot carry on as we have been without suffering some very painful consequences," he added that there is a growing mismatch between what we demand of the Earth's resources and the ability of nature's systems to respond. The prince's speech comes three weeks before the next round of UN climate talks kicks off in Durban, South Africa.
