GPS tracking and high-resolution satellite images are helping humans coexist with endangered elephants in western Namibia.

Namibia plans to cull more than 700 wild animals, including over 80 elephants, and distribute the meat to people; southern Africa currently faces a severe drought.

The Namibian government last month approved the culling of 723 animals, including 83 elephants, 30 hippos, 60 buffalos, 50 impalas, 300 zebras and 100 elands, among others.
