Malawi Communities File Suit Against IFAW Over Deadly Elephant Relocation
Rural communities near Kasungu National Park in Malawi and Zambia are pursuing legal action against the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) after the relocation of over 260 elephants in 2022 allegedly led to multiple human fatalities and widespread property damage. The law firm Leigh Day claims that the elephants have repeatedly escaped their designated area, resulting in at least 12 deaths, injuries, and significant economic losses for local farmers, estimated at millions of dollars. The communities are seeking compensation and demand the construction of adequate fencing around the park to protect their livelihoods. IFAW has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that they followed best practices during the relocation process. However, the situation has sparked a serious humanitarian crisis, with many villagers living in constant fear of elephant incursions. The legal action represents a significant moment, as it could set a precedent for accountability among conservation organizations.
