  2. Corridors, not culls, offer solution to Southern #Africa’s growing #elephant population

    by Ryan Truscott, 11 Dec 2025

    "Situated in the northwestern corner of the #SobbeWildlifeConservancy, in #Namibia’s long, narrow #Zambezi region, the #SobbeCorridor provides a link for elephants moving between #Botswana, #Zambia and #Angola."

    Key points:
    - Elephant populations in Southern Africa are stable or growing, but the space available for them is not.
    - Often, elephant populations are constrained, increasing their impact on the environment or surrounding communities, and triggering calls for controversial solutions, like culls or contraception.
    - But studies in a region that hosts 50% of Africa’s remaining savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) show how the animals make use of wildlife corridors to move between protected areas and neighboring countries.
    - Encouraging elephants to migrate can help relieve overpopulation in some areas, but any corridor invariably intersects with human communities, making it both vital ecological infrastructure and a social challenge.
