protecting elephants in the Malawi-Zambia landscape—factsheet

After hunting elephants in Malawi or Zambia, poachers can easily cross the border into either one of the countries, where respective government officials no longer have the authority to arrest them. That’s why, in 2017, IFAW launched the Combating Wildlife Crime project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), to protect elephant populations along the Malawi and Zambia border landscape.
