Elephants Without Borders survey results habe been peer reviewed and published. The salient points are:
- In northern Botswana, fresh elephant carcasses increased by 593% from 2014 to 2018
- In 2018, we confirmed 156 elephants as poached for ivory based on damage to skulls
- Fresh elephant carcasses were clustered in 5 hotspots where elephants have declined
- We estimate that a minimum of 385 elephants were poached in Botswana in 2017–2018Of course President Masisi and his government don't want to accept this. It doesn't suit their political ambitions.
