Rural farming communities on the border between the southern African countries of Malawi and Zambia are seeking damages and threatening to sue an international animal conservation group over the relocation of more than 260 elephants to their area, which their lawyers say have killed at least 12 people and injured others, destroyed crops and property, and left thousands living in fear.
British law firm Leigh Day said it is representing 10 people living near the Kasungu National Park on the Malawi-Zambia border, who say their lives have been ruined by the arrival of the elephants in 2022.
