Why Zimbabwe is culling elephants — and distributing the meat, again

Zimbabwe is set to cull at least 50 elephants in the Save Valley Conservancy due to overpopulation, as the reserve holds around 2,550 elephants, exceeding its carrying capacity. The decision aims to alleviate strain on the habitat and reduce human-wildlife conflict. Meat will be distributed to communities, while ivory will be secured by the government, highlighting ongoing challenges with poaching.
