Gaborone In a move that is likely to draw criticism from international conservationists, Botswana will auction off licenses to hunt 83 elephants to local and international hunters in December, a senior official confirmed in an interview on Monday. This would be the second auction of elephant trophy-hunting licenses since the Southern African nation, home to the world’s largest elephant population, lifted a hunting ban in 2019. "Yes it is true that we will hold another auction for hunting and the package includes different species, among them elephants,” said director of wildlife and national parks, Duncan Senyatso.
