More than 200 elephants have died amid a severe drought, Zimbabwe's parks agency said Tuesday, and a mass relocation of animals is planned to ease congestion.
"Almost every animal is being affected," he said."Of course, elephants are easily noticed during patrols or game drives, but some bird species are seriously affected because they can only breed in certain tree heights and those trees are being knocked down by elephants."
The agency said it plans to move 600 elephants, two prides of lions and other animals from the Save Valley Conservancy in the southeast to less congested parks. A pack of wild dogs, 50 buffalo, 40 giraffe and 2,000 impalas also will be relocated, Farawo said. Zimbabwe has an estimated 85,000 elephants, second only to neighboring Botswana with more than 130,000.
