Conservationists are attempting to move 500 African elephants from two national parks in Malawi to a wildlife preserve where poachers had previously wiped out the species, the Associated Press reported.
The elephants are going from two national parks in Majete and Liwonde, where there are a surplus of elephants, to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. The goal is to repopulate the area with the threatened species and repeat the process in other locations once it’s complete.
