Zimbabwe’s Wildlife Management Authority says in light of the drought it intends to destock its parks estates through selling some of the wildlife.

Their  statement did not say what species of animals are up for sale, or whether they would be sold to local or foreign bidders.

Conservation groups were incensed earlier this year when 18 Zimbabwe elephants due to be culled because of sustainability problems  were sent to Chinese zoos.

Drought is causing Zimbabwe to suffer its worst malnutrition in 15 years.
