Hanganani Gideon Dube, 75, a local farmer at his homestead in Mabale Village, Hwange, Zimbabwe, on May 26, 2022. Over a year ago, he survived an elephant attack while tending to his cattle, which left him with a broken leg. Zimbabwe has no compensation policy on crop and property damages, or injuries and fatalities from animal attacks. Hwange National Park is overflowing with elephants, which now routinely wander outside the boundaries to feed, sometimes running into deadly conflicts with people living in the surrounds. Zimbabwe and its neighbours in southern Africa have seen their elephant herds thrive in recent years and are now home to about 70 percent of the continent's elephants.
