Africa’s southern drought is killing Zimbabwe’s elephants and leaving other wildlife vulnerable.
Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa have been feeling the effects of the drought since late last year, threatening wildlife and an estimated 11 million people with hunger.
Rangers have been forced to abandon their ‘non-intervention’ policy, but are struggling to save the animals without financial support.
Wildlife officer Munyaradzi Dzoro says letting nature take its course is no longer an option in the face of climate change.
"We are now forced to intervene, which is manipulative conservation because we are not sure when and how we will receive the rain,” MrDzoro said.
