KASANE: New research led by Elephants Without Borders (EWB) has discovered that elephant movement through wildlife corridors is directly impacted by differing forms of human pressures and development.
From 2012 to 2019, EWB monitored elephants’ movements through six wildlife corridors with the use of motion-detected camera traps in two different human-dominated landscapes: the townships of Kasane and Kazungula, and the farming villages of the Chobe Enclave, both located in the Chobe District. The study, published this week in Frontiers in Conservation, provides new information revealing that various land-use seemingly affects when elephants use wildlife corridors on an hourly basis.
