The GLTFCA Elephant Management Framework

Conservation Outcomes and its project partners developed a landscape level Elephant Management Framework for the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). This was funded by WWF-SA through its Khetha Programme supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the SADC GIZ Programme. The elephant management framework addressed the threats that elephants face including from the illegal wildlife trade, habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict and unethical hunting practices. It also considered the movement of elephant populations, especially in relation to the establishment of wildlife dispersal corridors between protected areas in the GLTFCA.
