Zimbabwe drought: Hundreds of animals die in National park

Zimbabwe is experiencing its worst drought in years.
Rangers in Zimbabwe say hundreds of animals in its national park have died from a severe drought and many are struggling to survive.

Predators and scavengers seem to be thriving in these harsh conditions because the more animals that die, the more food they have.


Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa reports from Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.

You know what this could be an easy fix if china can build a 9 billion dollar airport why cant you build large man made lakes?

[neomt]

A thirsty elephant dying on the ground - instead of letting it drink water
....they THROW the water on it! Wasting water...what kind of stupids do that??

[mohammadsabah]

Ya Allah bring down water from the sky for them...

[thousandchannel]

Why the government dont give water to the animal, since it is national park and i think they collect fees from tourist

[Rushdie]

This is so sad, same thing happening right now in Australia. The weather is changing :(

[nancyhobson]

We can sympathise here in Australia as we know drought.

[terramater]

Zimbabwe's current drought has an immense impact on its wildlife. We made a background info video on the absolute minimum that an elephant needs in order to survive. Have a look on our channel!

Zimbabwe government should make artificial river on every 10 kms distance in the national park.

[molatelo]

This is painful to watch, climate change needs to calm down!

[letloveguardwellington]

Build a flat pool, once a month water tanker, put GoFundMe, many would pay to make sure the pool has water, only when there is no plane or make it easy for people to support, then
It seems there is no way out.

[ghostlife]

Most high clearing out the animals first then man turn is next.

[michelleespinoza]

This is normal to dry us and refill later in rainy season. They need water hole to be man filled because animals once could migrate to other lands for water and now they cant

[batranelwadie]

they should perform autopsies on them and Africa should unite to punish poaching by creating and implementing harsh explicate continental laws

[longinusukenta]

Come on. What happened to borehole water.

[zafariqbal-dyes]

They must install tube wells on different locations to make sure the animals gets water atleast to drink

[williammazibuko]

A cursed régime of ZANU, pharoah spirit.

[Jc-fimd]

They should make a temporary DAM for water supply when summertime

[leotv]

And you will find someone calling himself a director of wildlife

[justincase]

People are starving in Zimbabwe, is it any mystery that animals would be to.
That country is a disaster...
