Zimbabwe to Allow Killing of 50 Elephants to Curb Overpopulation
Zimbabwe will allow the killing of 50 elephants at a key conservancy area as part of efforts to manage growing populations of the mammals, which have led to increased human-wildlife conflict and put pressure on the environment.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said the Save Valley Conservancy has been issued with permits for an 'elephant management exercise,' which will initially target this first elephant batch, according to Tinashe Farawo, the spokesperson at the authority.
