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.

This is absolutely wild: The #Zambia government has just cancelled the world's most important digital rights conference #RightsCon 2026 which was supposed to start next week in #Lusaka. 3,000+ participants are now hanging in limbo (myself included), some already traveled to the country. I feel for the folks at #AccessNow who have been working so hard on this for months. https://www.facebook.com/100069038505521/posts/1285179577126647/

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Do you look in the mirror and still recognize yourself? Look what the Christian Nationalists made you do. WTF has the affiliation to any faith to do with life saving medication? Can we please stop put people in files and just see them as people with inviolable rights to live, dignity, and seek happiness. #Ethics #Zambia #Trump #AIDS

Violet Zulu, earned $40 a month as a house cleaner in Zambia. She was sentenced to seven years in a maximum security prison in 2024 for illegally terminating her pregnancy on her own. She didn’t see her two children or other family members for nearly two years. After word of her case reached international rights groups that helped her file an appeal, Zulu was freed last month. Activists say her story represents many women in Africa who take desperate decisions when facing barriers to legal abortion services.
