Next to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles is the hardest-working royal in recent times. It is logical, though, considering that he is the next person in line to the throne. Not to mention, the Queen has been already passing some of her duties and responsibilities to her first-born son in preparation for his ascension to the Crown.
Among all the Prince of Wales' campaigns and initiatives, his recent works have been seen to further incline toward the United Kingdom's response to the apparent dangers and risks of climate change. It has been all well-known that he is focusing much more on the country's future plans to sustain the natural resources for the succeeding generation.
Earlier this week, Prince Charles shared with the public how "exhausting" his tasks are, especially those that revolve around preserving resources. He also reportedly talked about how "demoralizing" it is to "persuade" the general public to maintain a healthy ecosystem that will benefit both the people and the Earth.
According to Metro UK, these statements of his were given to the press after he reportedly sent 27 species of "rare seeds" to the world's biggest seed vault, Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It was revealed that the vault is on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen.
These species of rare seeds were reportedly from Prince Charles' Gloucestershire estate. It was noted that he has been maintaining these "increasingly rare seeds" and "threatened varieties" of fruits ever since he arrived in the area four decades ago.
The same publication continued to share that the future King of England has been also maintaining rare native breeds of several animals. These include pig, chicken, cattle, sheep, ducks, and geese. The royal-born Prince then reportedly went on to reveal that of these variations from the plant and animal kingdom were "rapidly abandoned" about 40 years ago due to the people's "fashionable obsession" over monoculture.
He was also shared to call out the general public for their future collective efforts and contributions in these sectors. He even declared that it is very "urgent" to act now before "it's too late."
In a similar report released by Express UK, it was pointed out how key individuals in these sectors have repeatedly praised and commended Prince Charles for his commitment to this advocacy. While the contributions that he has made, especially from Highgrove, have been the outcome of his effort, it was noted that the message that the royal has been sending places a more essential factor to the overall effort.
The executive director of Crop Trust, Stefan Schmitz said that this is a very "important message" to the world. Not only that it shows how the Heir Apparent is very concerned about it but, this also allows people from all parts of the globe to understand the "critical importance" of "biodiversity conservation."
