British royal wedding to aid elephants in Thailand

Extract from Fox

BANGKOK – Endangered Asian elephants stand to benefit from Britain's royal wedding.

Charitable donations requested by Prince William and Kate Middleton instead of wedding gifts will help the London Zoological Society. It works in Thailand with the Elephant Conservation Network to reduce conflict between villagers and the animals in the western province of Kanchanaburi.

Network director Belinda Stewart-Cox said Thursday the gift would help ensure "we really make a difference to the lives of these amazing animals and the villagers who accommodate them."

Wild elephants in Thailand number probably no more than 3,500.

Other charities selected by the couple support military families, earthquake recovery in New Zealand and other causes. Their wedding is April 29.

Ok Im good to sound abit gooie but, I actually feel quite proud of our young Royals for setting up the Royal Wedding Charity Fund. I feel a hint of Diana in there. I think William is definitely turning out to be his caring mothers son.

He is definately his mothers son and she would be very proud of him. I think it's fantastic what they are doing and i believe William has a genuine passion for what he is doing. Well done to both of them.
