Tanzania Legally Protects an Elephant Migration Corridor for the First Time
Up to a thousand elephants climb the Udzungwa Mountains to an altitude of about 2,000 meters in search of bamboo and minerals. In April 2025, the government of Tanzania designated the roughly 14-kilometer Nyerere–Udzungwa corridor as the country's first legally protected wildlife corridor. In the first 15 months, cameras recorded at least 1,400 animal crossings, 529 of them by elephants.
