An ambitious project to clear deadly land mines from a wildlife sanctuary in southern Africa is being launched in a bid to give thousands of elephants and local villagers new hope. The announcement was made during the Nairobi Summit for a Mine-Free World taking place at the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The $1 million project initially aims to clear mines, sown during the Angolan civil war, to help restore an ancient elephant migration route linking Botswana with Zambia and Angola.
