HARARE, ZIMBABWE - A Zimbabwean environmental group is suing the government over purported plans to export elephants to China, which the group says has subjected the animals to unhealthful conditions.
In an application to Zimbabwe s High Court, Advocates4Earth is seeking to prevent the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority from carrying out the transfer.
Lenin Tinashe Chisaira, head of the environmental group, said, Basically, we are applying for a declaratory order that the Zimbabwe government and its agencies should respect international conventions, especially the resolutions that African elephants, African wildlife, should not be exported to destinations that are not appropriate for these species that are not natural or historic range.
