The President of Botswana is threatening to send 20,000 elephants to Germany.

Mokgweetsi Masisi is irked by environmental legislation in Germany with Berlin imposing limits on hunting and nature conservation in Africa.

Botswana is struggling with an excess of elephants. Hunting is seen as a solution for this, giving local communities an incentive to keep the animals’ population at a suitably sustainable level but in check.
