	afrol News - Declining elephant population in Malawi park
		Misanet / The Chronicle, 6 September - The population of elephants in Malawi's Kasungu National Park is said to be declining as a result of dense human population, poaching, as well management problems in the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the communities surrounding the protected area.

		Kasungu National Park covers an area of 231,600 hectares (ha) with a buffer zone, an area between the park and the communities free from settlement.
