The keen advocate for the environment visited the country upon the invitation of President Benigno Aquino III and is particularly interested in marine conservation.
In 2006, the Prince created a Monaco-based charity named Prince Albert II Foundation, which focuses on environmental protection and sustainable development. The foundation has made sizable donations to environmental projects.
