Prince Charles visited Llandeilo in South Wales to donate to The National Trust to help safeguard a rare breed of cattle.
The 68-year-old royal has been praised for his efforts and generous donation by the charity, which are working to save The White Park Cattle from extinction as they are of great importance to history of the local area.
National Trust Director for Wales, Justin Albert said: "The White Park Cattle are of special significance to Welsh history with their historic roots at Dinefwr.
"This is why we are doing everything we can to ensure that the breed survives for future generations.
"Both personally and on behalf of the National Trust we are honoured that His Royal Highness has taken such a personal interest in our ancient herd of White Park Cattle."
The rare beed have been walking the grass of Llandeilo for thousands of years and now there are just 750 on the earth, which means they are even more rare than the Giant Panda.
The National Trust started a campaign last autumn to help raise £36,000 to purchase more of the cows and they are well on their way to making the total thanks to the Prince of Wales.
Charles has long been an advocate for protecting the earth and its inhabitants and most recently made headlines for his ideas on climate change.
His Royal Highness ignited the debate among British MPs when he called for action on climate change, saying: "We might be more inclined to think about the longer term if we were more aware of what is happening around us.
"Perhaps daily weather forecasts could include a few basic facts about the Earth’s vital signs, or details of where climate change is increasing the likelihood of damaging weather?"
MP Philip Davies hit out at the Prince’s call for details of where climate change is increasing to be included in daily weather forecasts.
He said, according to the Daily Mail newspaper: "As ideas go, it is definitely high on the scale of idiotic. We put the weather forecast on to know if we need to take a brolly out with us.
"We don’t need some propaganda shoved down our throats. I’m afraid that Prince Charles is far too keen to get involved in a political debate and a political issue."
