Шумите се клучна алатка за борба против климатските промени и заштита на милиони видови што се на работ на исчезнување. Но, и тие се под голем ризик. Способноста на дрвјата да апсорбираат јаглероден диоксид инспирира многу луѓе да ги обноват заштитените земјишта и да размислуваат различно за зачувувањето на шумите.

Токму страста за заштита на шумите ги инспирира војводата и војвотката од Сасекс да посетат делови од Африка, вклучувајќи ги и Боцвана, Ангола и Малави.

Денес, војводата од Сасекс, принцот Хари, ги додаде националниот парк Ливонд и шумата Мангочи во Малави во иницијативата „Commonwealth Canopy“ на кралицата.

It is a stunning view of a strangler fig as it twists around another tree to head upwards toward the sun, precisely why it got its name!

I am really grateful to @natgeo for handing over the reins of their feed to help raise awareness of trees, and show just how beautiful they are but also highlight how important they are to the Earth, and to all of us. Thank you to everyone who has been posting their own images from their own communities. I’ll be heading over to @sussexroyal to report some of my favourites. Thank you, and remember to keep #LookingUp!” - Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex @sussexroyal

Photo by @franslanting | “Baobab trees are my all-time favourite. There’s something so unique and special about them—which is why I’ve been a bit cheeky and included them twice in my takeover today! This giant of the African forest is the tree of life, supporting everything from the largest mammals to the tiniest creatures. I especially love #LookingUp and seeing them in Botswana, where Frans Lanting has taken this beautiful picture.” –Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex @sussexroyal Frans’s photograph was taken on Kubu Island in Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana.
