Heed wisdom of indigenous people ‘before it’s too late’, urges King

The King has urged people to heed the wisdom of indigenous people “before it’s too late” to save the planet. He was speaking at the Animal Ball, a gala event to support the Elephant Family charity founded by Queen Camilla’s late brother Mark Shand. This year’s masked ball, held in the gardens at Lancaster House, central London, was billed as a celebration of indigenous communities and included life-sized elephant sculptures as a backdrop.
