Photo by @sussexroyal | We are pleased to announce that Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex @sussexroyal is guest-curating our Instagram feed today! “Hi everyone! I’m so happy to have the opportunity to continue working with @NatGeo and to guest-curate this Instagram account; it’s one of my personal favourites. Today I’m in Liwonde National Park, Malawi an important stop on our official tour of southern Africa, planting trees for the Queens Commonwealth Canopy. As part of this takeover, I am inviting you to be a part of our ‘Looking Up’ social campaign. To help launch the campaign, here is a photograph I took today here in Liwonde of Baobab trees. “#LookingUp seeks to raise awareness of the vital role trees play in the Earth’s ecosystem, and is an opportunity for all of us to take a moment, to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. So, join us today and share your own view, by looking up! Post images of the trees in your local community using the hashtag #LookingUp. I will be posting my favourite images from @NatGeo photographers here throughout the day, and over on @sussexroyal I will be sharing some of my favourite images from everything you post. I can’t wait to see what you see when you’re #LookingUp 🌲 🌳” ••• His Royal Highness is currently on an official tour to further the Queens Commonwealth Canopy, which was launched in 2015. Commonwealth countries have been invited to submit forests and national parks to be protected and preserved as well as to plant trees. The Duke has helped QCC projects in the Caribbean, U.K., New Zealand, Australia, Botswana, Malawi, and Tonga. Now, almost 50 countries are taking part and have dedicated indigenous forests for conservation and committed to planting millions of new trees to help combat climate change. The Duke’s longtime passion for trees and forests as nature’s simple solution to the environmental issues we face has been inspired by the work he has been doing on behalf of his grandmother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, for many years.

Ele aproveitará o dia de gerenciamento do perfil da revista para lançar uma campanha chamada "Looking Up", convidando internautas a compartilharem suas próprias imagens de árvores. Por sua vez, ele compartilhará uma foto tirada no Parque Nacional Liwonde, Malawi, onde apresentou recentemente iniciativas para ajudar a preservar as árvores na área.

Segundo o jornal britânico "Daily Mail", Harry diz que proteger a natureza é "fundamental para a nossa sobrevivência" e não deve ser algo considerado como "hippie". Harry está no oitavo dia de sua viagem pela África, junto a sua esposa, Meghan Markle.

Através das redes sociais, o Palácio de Buckingham disse que a paixão de Harry por árvores e florestas é "inspirada no trabalho que ele faz em nome de sua avó, Sua Majestade Rainha Elizabeth II".

Em 2015, foi lançado o "Queen's Commonwealth Canopy", do qual 50 países já participam, voltando sua atenção para a conservação de florestas indígenas e se comprometendo a plantar novas árvores.
