At least 100 elephants have died in Zimbabwe's largest national park due to a severe drought, with babies and elderly elephants being the most vulnerable. Conservationists are attributing the deaths to climate change and El Nino. However, a dissenting opinion argues that the drought is a periodic occurrence in Zimbabwe and is not linked to emissions. The drought has also wreaked havoc on the Amazon, causing widespread devastation. Over 110 elephants have died in the prolonged drought, despite the arrival of storm clouds, indicating that it's too late for the affected animals.
