In northwest Namibia, amidst an arid landscape of rocky mountains, sand, and gravel plains, herds of elephants have become adapted to life in the desert.
Think of African elephants and you might picture them wandering among open grasslands or making their homes in forests. But in northwest Namibia, amidst an arid landscape of rocky mountains, sand, and gravel plains, herds of elephants have become adapted to life in the desert. They are one of only two populations of desert-adapted elephants in the world and to survive in this harsh environment, they have developed unique traits.
Kasaona has lived his whole life in the northwest of Namibia, where his father taught him to respect and track wildlife. In turn, he is teaching the next generation of “elephant guardians,” including Taiwin Garoeb, who admits that he used to be scared of the animals. “I run away, but when I started to run the PEACE project, I learned that elephants are very unique,” he said. “There is a way of changing yourself that when you see elephants there is no need to run anymore.
