Prince Charles and Prince William appeal for an end to poaching during London zoo visit

It was a father and son outing to London Zoo for the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge who attended the “United for Wildlife” meeting, hoping to tackle the unprecedented rise in the illegal wildlife trade 8:36PM GMT 26 Nov 2013

The Duke of Cambridge declared his new United for Wildlife project can make a real difference to animal conservation as he marvelled at London Zoo's star attractions - the tigers.

William was joined by his father, the Prince of Wales, as he convened the first official meeting of the umbrella organisation he has assembled to help tackle the threat to the world's wildlife.

Before the talks began, the two men - who are both passionate about conservation - toured the tiger enclosure and got close to some of the big cats that face an uncertain future in the wild.

During the tour, the Duke spoke about his plans for United for Wildlife, saying he wanted to get conservation leaders and experts around the table.

He added that he wanted to get "them in one room to focus their energy and their commitment to one cause - particularly obviously this illegal wildlife trade at the moment is such a big issue".

"The idea was that United for Wildlife can progress and we can really start the ball rolling and the momentum and really try and change and tackle this issue," he said.

William went on: "Education is the most important thing as we saw with the shark fin soup campaign - the more education, the more obviously we can put out there and show people and educate them on what they're buying and what they're seeing and really try and change their attitudes.

"I think we've got a real chance of changing the way things are going."

Met Police appeal for information over body found in well

Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons from the Metropolitan Police appeals for information after a body was found in a well at a property in Surrey. 2:49PM GMT 17 Nov 2013

Two workmen made the discovery as they were doing clearing work in the front garden of a large house in Audley Drive, Warlingham, Surrey, which stands in an acre of grounds in an affluent area.

Seven men aged between 21 and 27 have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They have been bailed to a date in late December, pending further investigation, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.

A post-mortem examination is due to take place today at East Surrey Hospital mortuary.

Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said the body presented a number of logistical challenges, requiring a police marine diving team with breathing apparatus to recover it intact to preserve forensic evidence.

He said it was not possible to be sure of the body's gender, but judging by the size it was most likely to be an adult. The person was white.

Anyone with information is urged to call police on 020 8721 4961 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
