ERP recently completed a historic elephant translocation in Southern Africa, when 53 elephants were moved across three countries to establish a new population in a safe haven in Zinave National Park, in Mozambique. These elephants were moved in carefully-selected family units from overcrowded game reserves in South Africa, where they faced the imminent threat of culling. ERP was called in to intervene and provide a non-lethal solution, which resulted in one of the largest elephant translocations ever undertaken.
During the second phase of this move, Dagmar Midcap – a seasoned US television network reporter with a keen interest in conservation – became heavily involved in the mission, producing a fascinating documentary which captures the emotion and sheer difficulty of the translocation.
