"The 2023 survey report on elephants in the Kavango-Zambèze Transfrontier Area
(KAZA) shows that elephant populations there are stable. In this region of
southern Africa, which includes Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe,
the elephant population is estimated at 227,900 individuals.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (Ifaw) has just published the
first-ever synchronised and comprehensive survey of elephants, carried out in
the Kavango-Zambèze Transfrontier Area (KAZA). This region of southern Africa
includes Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

According to the survey, elephant populations there are stable, and are
estimated at 227,900 individuals. In detail, the study counts 5,983 pachyderms
in Angola, 131,909 in Botswana, 21,090 in Namibia, 3,840 in Zambia and 65,028
in Zimbabwe. Only the elephant population in Zambia has declined."
