Zimbabwe plans to cull 200 elephants to feed communities facing acute hunger after the drought.

A group of elephants and giraffes walk near a watering hole inside Hwange National Park, in Zimbabwe, October 23, 2019.The El Nino-induced drought wiped out crops in Southern Africa, affecting 68-million people and causing food shortages across the region.

More than 200,000 elephants are estimated to live in a conservation area spread over five southern African countries, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Angola and Namibia, making the region home to one of the largest elephant populations worldwide. “It’s an effort to decongest the parks in the face of drought. The numbers are a drop in the ocean because we are talking of 200 and we are sitting on plus 84,000,” he said.
