Prince William appeared in a video message to honour and celebrate the sacrifices of important individuals who are putting their lives at risk for a bigger cause.
On July 31, the Prince of Wales marked World Ranger Day and recognised wildlife rangers for protecting the planet.
In a statement, William's team said, "Across the world, rangers work every day to protect wildlife, ecosystems and the natural landscapes we all depend on. But this vital work does not come without its challenges.
"Today, we honour and celebrate the remarkable contributions of rangers everywhere, recognising their courage, dedication and lasting impact in safeguarding our planet."
The video prominently featured Leitah Mkhabela, the Supervisor of the Black Mambas, discussing her dedication to protecting wildlife.
The future King was also seen in the video lauding the nature defenders for their bravery, which is beneficial for the whole world.
Prince William's new post followed a YouGov survey revealing that Prince Harry gained popularity, surpassing his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, after his recent trip to the UK.
