Namibia's government is undertaking drastic measures due to severe drought conditions, allowing hunting of protected wildlife to prevent starvation and enhance human-animal relations.
With over 1.4 million people facing acute food and water shortages, the government's controversial decision to cull wildlife aims to mitigate the severe impacts of the drought.
This year's El Nino-induced drought has triggered states of emergency across Southern Africa, significantly impacting water supply and escalating conflicts between humans and wildlife.
By permitting the hunting of endangered species, the authorities hope to not only provide food for rural communities but also address the growing tensions caused by wildlife seeking water.
