 Trump administration halts border wall well drilling in New Mexico after ranchers raise water concerns  The Trump administration has ordered contractors building a border wall in New Mexico to stop drilling new wells after ranchers raised concerns that groundwater pumping for construction could worsen drought conditions and threaten their livestock. The move comes as crews work to expand border barriers across four states as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. The project has received billions in federal funding and has faced criticism from residents, environmental groups and local officials over various impacts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees construction, has said water is needed for concrete production, road construction and controlling dust. However, ranchers in southern New Mexico say water supplies are already under strain due to ongoing drought, forcing some to reduce their cattle herds.

 Chad ends ties with Prince Harry conservation charity for wildlife failures


A conservation charity which has Britain's Prince Harry as a board member has been kicked off its projects in Chad after the Chadian government accused it of failing to protect wildlife, Reuters reported.


Harry, King Charles's younger son, was appointed to the governing board of African Parks (APN) in 2023 after seven years of involvement with the charity, which was set up to protect natural habits and wildlife.


Chad's environment minister Hassan Bakhit Djamous said the decision to cut ties came in response to "the resurgence of poaching and the severe lack of investment" including in infrastructure and anti-poaching efforts, "the failure of APN to respect key clauses of the agreements" and "recurring irreverence shown towards the government of Chad".


African Parks, which manages parks in 12 other countries including Angola, Malawi and Zambia, confirmed Chad had terminated its two management mandates there.


"African Parks has initiated discussions with the ministry to understand the government’s position and to explore the best possible way forward in support of the continued protection of these critical conservation landscapes," it said in a statement.


It is the second time this year a charity linked to the prince Harry has attracted negative headlines.


He stepped down from Sentebale, which he helped set up to help people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, after a public row with its chair, Sophie Chandauka, who accused Harry and the trustees of bullying, misogyny and racism.


Britain's charity regulator said in August it had found no evidence of bullying.


Harry, who lives in California with Meghan and their two children, stopped working as a member of the British royal family in 2020.
