One year ago, International Fund for Animal Welfare put the finishing touches on years of work to create a safe home for elephants in one of Malawi’s premier national parks—by moving 263 from one of Malawi’s smallest parks nearly 500 kilometres across the country to release them into Kasungu National Park. One year later, Kasungu’s elephant population is healthier, and the park’s tourism is on the rise. The ambitious translocation of a record number of elephants has made inroads to resurrecting Kasungu as a star among southern Africa’s protected areas.
