The Chobe National Park is being turned into desert by the over population of Elephants. I have heard, from different sources that Chobe has anything from 60,000 to 160,000 Elephant. The 60,000 comes from green idiots as that is the estimated carrying capacity of Els for Chobe.

Rangers and other govt sources put the numbers as low as 140,000 to 160,000. I have also seen an interview with a Ranger/Professional Hunter/farmer (Not sure who he was as did not catch entire interview) who showed where the park use to extend to and what is now desert. Botswana, as estimated by some, would have to cull a minimum of 5000 Els a year just to keep the current numbers, in reality closer to 10,000 a year.

I don't know what the answer s but banning sports hunting of them is certainly the answer if they want a desert there.
