This is just simple basic game management needed here..what is wrong with ZAWA? We will keep hearing such news until the park is leased off to Africa Parks for 30 years….govt needs to invest a little bit more in Wildlife stop being lazy and leasing off our resources. Why dont you form a trust funded by National Lottery for such programs?
