Namibia plans to cull over 700 wild animals to provide meat to locals suffering from severe drought, the worst in 100 years, affected by El Niño.
With 1.4 million people facing severe food insecurity, Namibia's government aims to assist during a national disaster, sourcing animals from sustainable game numbers.
The drought has led to economic decline and unemployment, as most households in Namibia rely on farming, impacted heavily by the recent El Niño.
The Ministry of Environment stresses the culling is necessary at this time of crisis, having already supplied over 56,000 kilograms of meat from earlier hunts.
