Drought Linked to Climate Change Kills 100 Elephants in Zimbabwe

Conservationists fear a repeat of 2019's severe drought as El Nino intensifies due to climate change.

At least 100 elephants have died in Zimbabwe’s largest national park, Hwange, due to drought.
The drought is linked to the El Nino weather phenomenon and climate change, which are causing scarcity of rains and rising heat.
Studies indicate that climate change may be intensifying El Nino, leading to more extreme consequences.
Conservation groups are pumping water into the park's waterholes daily, but fear a repeat of 2019 when over 200 elephants died in a severe drought.
Elephants play a crucial role in fighting climate change by dispersing vegetation over long distances, enabling forests to spread and flourish.
