Hundreds of elephants and dozens of Zimbabwean lions will be moved by the country’s wildlife agency as part of a major operation to save the animals from a devastating drought.
More than 200 elephants in Zimbabwe have perished over the past two months due to a lack of water at the country’s main conservation zones in Mana Pools and Hwange National Park.
The animals will be moved from Savé Valley Conservancy, a major park in southeastern Zimbabwe, to three other reserves in the north of the country.
