MORE than 100 elephants from Malawi’s Kasungu National Park, a 2,100 square kilometre area of natural woodland and bush bordering Zambia, are on the loose in Lundazi and Lumezi damaging people’s crops.
Both Lundazi District Commissioner Majory Banda and Lumezi District Commissioner Lufeyo Ngoma confirmed in separate interviews that the elephants escaped from Kasungu National Park, Malawi’s second largest wildlife reserve.
In June 2022, the African Parks Organisation and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) funded the
relocation of 250 elephants to restock the park, which was partly fenced, thereby allowing them to roam outside..https://enews.daily-mail.co.zm/welcome/home
