Philemon told us that this devastation was done by elephants. They
break off branches of trees and tear up the foliage. They push trees
down completely to get at the bark and the materials beneath the bark.
It is a rare tree that can survive a real elephant attack!
But for all that, plus the long dry seasons, Zambia is quite beautiful and
seems to be a healthy habitat for all the animals and the people who
live there too. The tourist trade has brought new money into the
country and local people are seeing that it is the animals who bring in
the tourists and thus the jobs and the money!
