介绍： BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit.
The authorities in Zimbabwe say at least two hundred elephants have died
due to a lack of food and water as a result of severe drought. Last month, they said fifty-five had died.
Zimbabwe is thought to be home to eighty thousand elephants around a fifth of Africa's total. Will Ross reports.
In an effort to prevent more of the elephants dying, a spokesman for Zimbabwe's Parks and Wildlife Management Authority
said there were plans to move six hundred of the animals from Save Valley Conservancy
in the southeast of the country to three other national parks.
He said until the rains came, there'd be more deaths due to loss of habitat caused by the severe drought.
Giraffe, lions, buffalo and antelope will also be moved in what the authorities describe as the biggest relocation in the country's history.
Park officials say there are too many elephants in Zimbabwe.
Animal welfare groups have criticized recent reports that dozens of young elephants have been flown from Zimbabwe to zoos in China.
