The government in Namibia will cull more than 700 wild animals for their meat to prevent people from starving during a severe drought. Namibia is facing its worst drought in 100 years, which has led to a food crisis for nearly half of the population. The Ministry of Environment will use game meat to support the country’s drought relief program by culling 723 wild animals. Professional hunters will source these animals from national parks and communal areas. Culling the animals will help preserve grazing and water areas for wildlife during the drought. The government believes this action is necessary to benefit Namibian citizens and conserve natural resources.
