Correction: Kruger National Park Without Fences

Text (reminder)

In recent decades, South Africa and Zimbabwe have removed sections of fencing that once separated Kruger National Park from neighbouring conservation areas.

The goal was to create a much larger transnational conservation zone, allowing elephants and other large mammals to migrate freely across what used to be a strict border.

Conservationists argue that this approach better mimics natural migration patterns and improves the long-term health of wildlife populations.

However, the project has also required careful coordination between the two countries, including shared anti-poaching efforts across a much larger and harder-to-monitor territory.
