The caption of the post read that the event was for “a conversation about the natural world and our shared responsibility to protect it.”Watson gave a speech after being invited on stage at the event. He said, “Storytelling is very powerful, and the story you tell as a brand, and the transparency you have and the way you talk about these issues, it’s important. It’s important to young people.” A video of her speech, as well as those of Prince William and Benedict Cumberbatch, was also shared on the same account. The actress also posted about the events on her account. Sharing photos from the event, he wrote, “Wildlife trafficking is the tip of a very exploitative iceberg.

Emma Watson recalls that the paparazzi were mistaken for being there for her
The actress also recalled a funny incident during her speech that she thought many people with cameras were waiting for her near her residence. He said, “And I thought, ‘Today is the day. It’s happening, oh my goodness.’ So, [someone] went outside to tell them and their long lenses and I went the other way, and it turned out that the men with long lenses were not really there for me, at all. They were there for a rare bird, called a red hawk. And they tried, basically, to get into my back garden because they thought one of the red kites was in our yard.Over the years, Watson has consistently undertaken philanthropic efforts and used her voice to provide a platform to those in need.
