Reading your article about the Phirilongwe/Mangochi elephant translocation in Malawi, it struck me how misinformed you are on the real facts regarding these elephants, the communities wishes and the translocation. As I have been involved in Malawi conservation for the past 13 and half years, have worked with the elephants in Mangochi since 2000 and met with local communities together with the department of National Parks and Wildlife Malawi and South African National Parks, as well as Conservation Solutions in trying to solve this human/animal conflict situation, I would like the opportunity to give you the real facts surrounding this translocation and how it came about.
