Abstract

This paper presents data on elephant distribution and abundance in northern Botswana and uses these as a basis for considering conservation problems with this species. Although the land available to elephants will inevitably be reduced in years to come, the Wildlife Management Area system is seen as the key to the long-term survival of elephants in large numbers in northern Botswana. The main problem in assessing management options to deal with the elephant overabundance problem in the Chobe National Park is suggested to be the absence of a management plan giving conservation and management goals for the area.
