森での散歩はキャンセルされたメーガン妃
'Meghan had originally planned to walk through the Tuloa forest on the island of Tonga but Prince Harry went alone as his wife is pregnant with their first child. Instead, schoolchildren performed a special dance to ward off mosquitoes and keep the mum-to-be safe, to the delight and laughter of the royal couple.'

The College has a 750-acre campus, on which crops of vegetables and fruit are grown. This includes an area of forest noted in Tonga as the Toloa Rainforest Reserve containing a variety of plant species endemic to Tonga as well as those no longer found in other parts of the kingdom.

The Duke and Duchess were there to dedicate two forest reserves at the school's on-site forest, the Toloa Forest Reserve, the last remaining forest area on Tonga’s main island of Tongatabu, and the Eua National Park Forest Reserve, located at the Island of Eua – to The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.

The QCC presents a rare opportunity to unite the whole Commonwealth family and save one of the world’s most important natural habitats - forests. By creating a pan-Commonwealth network of forest conservation projects, the QCC will mark Her Majesty The Queen’s service to the Commonwealth while conserving indigenous forests for future generations. It was launched at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta, in 2015. The QCC has been an important element of Harry and Meghan's tour itinerary and an initiative we can expect to see them work closely with as they tour the Commonwealth in the years to come

"The plane carrying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Australia had to abort its landing in Sydney because another aircraft was on the runway below. The airplane came within seconds of landing but the pilot had to pull away again and re-approach when the coast was clear. An announcement from the flight deck said: “There was an aircraft on the runway a little slow to roll … so the decision was taken to abort the landing,” the BBC reported."

『the Australian Geographic Society Awards』

an annual gathering of Australia's brightest and best in exploration, science and conservation.

present youth awards to honour the highest achievements in conservation and adventure,

and The Duke give an address.

------------------------------------------------------

The annual gathering is a celebration of Australia's brightest and best in exploration, science and conservation. Ahead of the awards, the AGS said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Sydney for the Invictus Games and this year’s AG awards include a number of recipients who have overcome significant physical challenges to achieve amazing feats of endurance. The Duke is well known and respected as an explorer and adventurer, and as such exemplifies many of the values and objectives of the Australian Geographic Society. At this year’s event we also plan to highlight the Duke’s other achievements, particularly in conservation and as an advocate for youth."

Recognising greatness since 1987, the Australian Geographic Society Awards are Australia’s longest running awards for adventure. The Lifetime Achievement Awards for adventure and conservation are the society’s highest honour, recognising those Australians who have a lifelong commitment to their chosen field. Along with conservation awards added in the early 1990s, the AGS Awards annually celebrate the best of Australian endeavour. As the event is a celebration of achievement and not a competition as such, not all categories are awarded annually. Each nomination and category is judged on merit alone. Past winners have included Valerie Taylor AM, Bindi Irwin, Tim Flannery, Ian Kiernan AO and Dick Smith AC. In recent times honorary awards have been presented to Buzz Aldrin and Dr David Suzuki.

”スピーチ”
父チャールズ皇太子を賞賛も。

'As all of us in this room know, looking after our environment is a lifelong commitment. We are all part of a global family and we share the understanding and universal privilege of being able to inhabit this earth, with its natural wonders, glorious flora and fauna and biodiversity, from sky to sea, that is awe inspiring.
But I use the word privilege for a reason, because with privilege comes great responsibility.

To highlight this point, I wanted to share a few excerpts from a well-known conservationist. He starts by saying: Conservation means being aware of the total environment we live in. It does not mean simply preserving every hedgerow, tree, field or insect in sight, but means thinking rationally and consciously just as much about the urban environment as about the countryside.

There is an unbalanced trend in our own time, when we have armoured ourselves with such an arsenal of machines and chemicals to do what we like to nature, and to reshape the world, that it has led us to see ourselves as somehow separate from, and superior to, nature. He continues to say: There was a time, when as human beings we thought the world belonged to us. Now we are beginning to realise that we actually belong to the world. We are responsible to it, and to each other. And that whatever we do to nature, whether it is on the grandest scale or just in our own gardens, is ultimately something that we are doing to our own deepest selves. We have not been put on this planet to destroy it.

Ladies and gentleman, those words were shared in speeches dating back to 1970 and up until 2002, by my father, The Prince of Wales. And yet now, nearly 50 years later, those sentiments resonate just as much today, if not more, than ever before. My father and others have been speaking about the environment for decades - not basing it on fallacy or new-age hypothesis, but rooted in science and facts, and the sobering awareness of our environmental vulnerability. And while those speeches would sometimes fall on deaf ears, he and others were unrelenting in their commitment to preserve the most valuable resource we have – our planet.

But let that be a cautionary tale. We are all here tonight because we care deeply about using the world's resources wisely and safeguarding them for future generations. And, I am certain we are more aware of the need for this balance now, than ever before. We must appreciate our planet and what it has to offer. The world we live in cannot be replicated or tamed - it is a wild place where beauty takes time to form, in most cases, thousands of years, and without it, we are nothing.

Year after year, we hear increasing reports of human-wildlife conflict, how little time we have before it's too late to counter the impact of climate change, and how we can no longer sacrifice sustainability in development. The idea that these are the next generation's problems is not a view we can accept. I know that here in Australia you have particular challenges such as coral bleaching on your magnificent Great Barrier Reef, recurring drought, and ever increasing bush fires. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see your natural treasures being changed forever. I was amazed to see that Australia supports up to 700,000 native species, a high proportion of which are found nowhere else on earth.

So as Australians, the excellent work that you are doing to preserve your native biodiversity is really important, not just for your own benefit, but for the whole planet. But I am confident that positive and permanent change is on the horizon. Young people now innately understand far better than previous generations that we simply cannot continue to destroy our natural world, without facing major, irreversible consequences. And they understand that many of the solutions we need to tackle these issues can be found by working together and empowering communities to come up with long-lasting, sustainable solutions.

That's why tonight I have been so inspired by the awardees who are making such a remarkable difference in their communities, and I hope this platform will inspire others to do the same. These are lessons we have all learnt and which we must urgently act upon. We cannot continue to pollute the oceans with plastics and other wastes. We cannot continue to breathe polluted air while cutting down our forests, or without reducing emissions. We cannot stand by and let our wildlife disappear from the earth and our fish from the seas. In closing, I think we can agree tonight that there cannot be any more excuses. Thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone in this room, and the environmentalists and conservationists of the past, we are ready to translate our awareness into action.

It is going to take every single one of us to stop the clock on the destruction of our planet, and time is not on our side. The standard we walk past, is the standard we accept. It's time to take personal responsibility and realise what a privilege it is for us to live alongside nature. Thank you for your dedication to our environment, our planet, our future, our Mother Nature.'
