Botswana: Deaths of more than 300 elephants caused by bacteria in water

Other animals appear to have been unharmed by the toxins - but there are fears climate change could lead to more wildlife deaths...

Bacteria found in water is believed to have caused the deaths of more than 300 elephants in Botswana...

Scientists fear toxins being produced by tiny organisms in water and soil could be occurring more frequently due to climate change driving up temperatures...

However, they admit there are still "many questions" which need answering because other animals in the same areas as the elephants appear to have been unharmed...

In July, it was revealed 281 elephants had mysteriously died in Okavango Delta, Botswana - but that figure has now risen to 330...

It comes as investigations continue into the deaths of 25 elephants in Zimbabwe who are also thought to have died from bacterial infections...

Veterinary officer Mmadi Reuben, of Botswana's Department of Wildlife and National Parks, said: "Our latest tests have detected cyanobacterial neurotoxins to be the cause of deaths. These are bacteria found in water...

"However, we have many questions still to be answered such as why the elephants only and why that area only? We have a number of hypotheses we are investigating."..

I know what you're saying.. I don't purposefully upset myself.. it's just the articles tend to catch my attention and have a hold on me in a way I feel bad for them... sometimes the theories don't always add up also with how they died...

That's part of the problem. White people go into Africa to help the humans by building wells for personal water use, so now the Africans have no motivation to keep the natural waterholes clean and available for the wildlife that attracts tourism that allows the Africans to upgrade their lives.

Again, giving handouts to the poor causes blowback that kills the environment. So yeah, building a water processing facility is part of the problem. Complex for know-it-alls.
