It’s moving day in Zimbabwe — well, for animals
Wildlife on the move in Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe began moving more than 2.5k animals from a southern reserve to another one further up north to protect them from prolonged drought, NPR writes. This is the first time in 60 years that the country has resorted to such measures to protect its wildlife. Project Rewild Zambezi is relocating 400 elephants, 2k impalas, 70 giraffes, 50 buffaloes, 50 wildebeest, 50 zebras, 50 elands, 10 lions and a pack of 10 wild dogs. “For years we have fought poaching and just as we are [emerging victoriously in] that war, climate change has emerged as the biggest threat to our wildlife,” spokesman of the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority told NPR.
