Large populations of elephants in Africa live in unprotected areas. With the growing human population, these elephants often find themselves in unexpected conflict with humans. The objective of this translocation was to eliminate the elephant-human conflict, and to strengthen the elephant population in a park that has benefited from intense development and rewilding efforts over the last five years.
This translocation has served the elephants, the surrounding African communities and the park, by reducing the elephant-human conflict and expanding the elephant population in Zinave.
