The collaring project is set to take place over the course of 12 months, during which roughly 60 elephants will be marked. “You can’t just protect by the physical presence of rangers,” an official said.

The tagging actually allows rangers to both track and identify the reserve’s elephants and gives them the ability to respond in real-time when they see they’re in danger. In an area as large as the Selous reserve, it’s downright a necessity.
