"Africa's Famine Crisis: A Grim Struggle Between Survival and Extinction"

Across Africa, over 60 million people are at risk of starvation, with children, pregnant women, and the elderly disproportionately affected. This population faces an existential battle against famine, as the continent grapples with the devastating consequences of climate change, conflict, economic downturns, and global supply chain disruptions. Countries like Zimbabwe, Somalia, South Sudan, and Ethiopia are now forced into desperate actions—such as culling elephants and other wildlife—to feed starving populations. In the face of mass starvation, communities are turning to desperate means to survive. Wildlife, once seen as a symbol of African pride, now tragically becomes a source of food for those fighting hunger. Elephants, among other wildlife, are being killed—not out of choice, but necessity. This measure is a grim reflection of how dire the situation has become. The human & ecological ramifications of this crisis cannot be overstated. Immediate international intervention is needed to save both human lives and the rich biodiversity at risk of extinction.
