Create Misery, 100 Elephants Die due to Drought in Zimbabwe

Elephants and many other wild species have died in Zimbabwe due to prolonged droughts that have transformed once abundant water holes into muddy puddles. Summer rains have been delayed by five weeks due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, resulting in the deaths of dozens of elephants in Hwange National Park, the largest protected area in the country that is home to approximately 45,000 elephants. At least 100 elephants have been reported dead due to water scarcity.

"Elephants and other wildlife species will face a crisis if rain does not come soon," "In 2019, more than 200 elephants died in Zimbabwe due to severe drought; This phenomenon is recurring."
According to Phillip Kuvawoga, Landscape Program Director at IFAW.

Although having 104 solar-powered wells, the park authorities state that it is not enough and not proportional to the extreme temperatures that dry up the existing water holes, forcing wildlife to travel far in search of food and water. Mammals that depend on water, such as elephants, are among the most affected.

"Fight for Wildlife Conservation"

News about this tragedy emerged during COP28, when world leaders gathered to determine ambition and responsibility, as well as identify and assess climate measures at the global climate change conference in Dubai. IFAW's agenda at COP28 advocates for wildlife conservation as a nature-based solution to address climate change.

"Wild animals protect the carbon already stored in nature, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere, and helping nature absorb and store more carbon."

The impact of climate change on wildlife and humans requires an integrated and holistic approach to support resilient landscapes and communities against climate change.

"The death of elephants and other anticipated species, as we see in Zimbabwe currently, should be seen as symptoms of deep and complex challenges that affect the conservation of natural resources in the region, worsened by climate change,""
