The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) has reported three
incidents of human-wildlife conflict where a Chiredzi man was trampled to
death by an elephant while two others were injured by crocodiles in Mwenezi.
Posting on Twitter, ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said;
“It is with great sadness that a man was trampled to death by an elephant
in Chiredzi, while 2 other people were seriously injured by crocodiles in 2
separate incidences along Save & Mwenezi rivers.”
Human-wildlife conflict has become rampant in the country, a situation that
forced cabinet to put up a relief fund for those affected by the problem
caused by incessant droughts that forces humans and animals to scramble for
food.
Human wildlife conflicts are also caused by vandalism of perimeter fence on
most game parks by communities which results in wild animals straying into
villages.
