Botswana Threatens to Send 20,000 Elephants to Germany - botswana elephant - In a diplomatic showdown that has captured global attention, Botswana finds itself at the center of a contentious dispute with Germany over the fate of its iconic elephant population. What began as a proposal from German Environment Minister Steffi Lemke to import 20,000 wild elephants from Africa has escalated into a clash of ideologies, values, and economic interests. As the dust settles, the true motives behind Germany's interference become increasingly clear, while Botswana's steadfast commitment to conservation and sovereignty shines through. Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has announced that he wants to donate 20,000 elephants to Germany. Because he is very angry with Germany - specifically Environment Minister Steffi Lemke (Greens). Lemke's advocacy aims to limit or entirely prohibit the importation of hunting trophies from Africa. President Masisi expressed concern that a ban on trophy imports, as proposed by Lemke, could unintentionally exacerbate poverty and poaching. He argues that regulated hunting serves as a population management tool. President Masisi emphasized that after decades of successful species protection efforts, Botswana now faces a challenge of elephant overpopulation. This overpopulation, he warns, can lead to increased human-elephant conflict, resulting in trampling deaths, village destruction, and crop loss. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn't fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
