ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- An MTPA spokesperson confirmed to The Lowvelder, however, that the elephants could not be relocated using a helicopter to chase the animals along, ‘because there was a calf in the herd'.
- Instead of being shot, however, the elephants were relocated in a difficult elephant rescue launched by Elephants Alive, an organization specializing in elephant research and promoting harmonious co-existence between people and elephants.
- The killing closely follows a national conference on Human-Elephant Conflict Management in South Africa, which MTPA attended, which highlighted the importance of adhering to the Department of Environmental Affairs Norms and Standards for Elephant Management.
