Hunting and culling are the most controversial topics in elephant conservation.
Culling was a cornerstone of elephant management through the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Then in the mid-90s, Kruger, then Zimbabwe, and everyone else stopped, driven by public pressure that deemed it unethical.
As a result, elephant populations exploded, decimating vegetation across southern Africa.
The science and the need haven't changed. No one has stepped forward out of fear of public ridicule—until now.
