Charity relocated hundreds of elephants to new home in Malawi - angry locals say they have now killed 10 people

Hundreds of elephants were relocated to a new home in 2022 - (AP)

Hundreds of bull elephants have trampled at least ten villagers to death after being relocated by a charity, Malawi locals have claimed.

Villagers near Kasungu national park are now launching legal action against the International Fund for Animal Welfare. IFWA, along with a second NGO African Parks, was involved in a major project to move 263 elephants to Malawi’s second-largest national park, that also crosses the Zambian border, in July 2022. Prince Harry was president of African Parks before joining the board of directors in 2023.
