Episode 684 - A Citizens Perspective on Kruger Elephants | Mark Bishop

A candid conversation about the difficult choices facing Kruger National Parks wildlife and landscapes. Mark Bishop joins Robbie Kroger to discuss elephant impacts on trees and habitats, the limits of current management options, and why tourism’s silence may matter for conservation’s future. Tourism is part of the conversation too. Kruger’s wildlife and scenery are central to the visitor experience, yet the episode asks whether the industry has been sufficiently open about elephant impacts—and whether visitor expectations could influence how the issue is addressed.
