William is taking up his family's traditional role as keen supporters of conservation and environmental causes.

Flora, fauna and feathered creatures around the world, take note: Prince William is your latest royal champion.

Fauna & Flora International and the British Trust for Ornithology align with William's"longstanding work around conservation and support for communities protecting their natural environment for future generations," the palace said. The queen is still on the job but she, too, has cut down on the number of charities and patronages she supports while passing them on to her descendants.

William has taken up organizations that fit with his own patronage interests over the last 15 years as he graduated from college, married the former Kate Middleton in 2011, fathered three children, and became a full-time senior working royal. Fauna & Flora International, established in 1903 and operating in more than 40 countries worldwide, is the world’s oldest international wildlife conservation organization, the palace said. The queen has been its royal patron for almost seven decades.

The British Trust for Ornithology aims to help local communities protect local bird species and their natural habitats, while also promoting the benefits of the natural world on human health and wellbeing. Prince Philip, a lifelong ornithology enthusiast, has been patron of BTO for more than 30 years.
