Officials in Botswana have reported the mysterious death of over 360 elephants since May. The cause of the deaths is not yet established. The officials, however, rule out poaching as the cause of the deaths because all the dead elephants are found with their tusks intact.

Botswana is home to the world’s largest elephant population. The country is a safe haven to around 130,000 elephants, a third of Africa’s total, making it a magnet for wildlife lovers. Tourism accounts for a fifth of Botswana’s GDP. The mysterious death of the elephants is a big blow to the country and the world at large.
