Zimbabwe to cull dozens of elephants to curb population and distribute meat to communities

Zimbabwe has announced plans to kill dozens of elephants to manage the population within the Save Valley Conservancy, where the current elephant population far exceeds the land's carrying capacity. The initiative aims to mitigate ecological damage caused by overpopulation. Meat from the culled elephants will be distributed to local communities, while the ivory will be secured by the state wildlife authority.
