Namibia Begins Wildlife Culling Amid Worst Drought in Decades

The Namibian government has initiated the culling of more than 700 wild animals in response to the country’s worst drought in decades. The move, announced last week by the Environment Ministry, is aimed at easing pressure on grazing lands and water supplies, while also providing meat for programs supporting thousands of people suffering from food shortages due to the drought.
