More Lions Found Dead In A Suspected Poisoning Case

Just two weeks after four lions were discovered dead near Lesoma Village in Chobe, two more adult males were found yesterday in a fresh poisoning incident.

The reason behind what appears to be the targeted eradication of the pride is still unclear, but there are growing suspicions that the lions may have been poisoned by farmers as a result of escalating human–wildlife conflict.

EWB Record Great Elephant Movement Between Angola and Namibia

They called her Elephant 8925, but numbers can’t capture a journey like this.

In September 2024, along the Cuando River in southeastern Angola, Elephants Without Borders and Angola’s INBAC gently fitted her with a collar. It was part of the Great Elephant Corridor, a quiet act of trust meant to listen rather than lead.

Then she walked.

Southward. Eastward. Across landscapes stitched together by memory and instinct. From Angola, she crossed into Namibia, eventually reaching Khaudum National Park.

In more than 25 years of tracking elephants, no one had ever seen an elephant move between these two systems, according to EWB.

Her path is more than a line on a map. It’s proof that ancient routes still exist, that borders drawn by people don’t always stop wildlife, and that when space is protected, elephants remember how to use it.

Elephant 8925 is a reminder why corridors matter, and why hope can still travel great distances.

This evening EPS Founder explained in Maun before traveling to Gaborone for the case tomorow morning that central issue in the case is the EPS's argument that the government's decision to allow elephant hunting is based on "flawed data and misleading claims about the elephant population and human-wildlife conflicts."
