Namibia Wildfire Devastates Etosha, One-Third of National Park Destroyed | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Massive wildfires have destroyed about a third of Etosha National Park in Namibia, one of Africa’s largest and most famous wildlife reserves. The blaze, which began a week ago, spread beyond the park, burning grazing lands near Angola and threatening local communities. At least nine antelope and one elephant have died, though officials warn casualties may be higher. Authorities suspect charcoal-production activities contributed to the fire, which was fueled by dry vegetation and strong winds. The park, home to 114 mammal species including the critically endangered black rhinoceros and the iconic Etosha salt pan, remains under close monitoring as recovery efforts begin.
