This situation was unnatural and led to various unintended ecological effects.

The whole system of fencing off a natural area and blocking seasonal migrations is unnatural. Global warming is also unnatural. Firebombing certain parts of the Park is also unnatural.

This is actually a very good and cautious summary of the situation I think, although almost entirely elephant-oriented, rather understandably! \O

Little mention is made of the decade-long wet cycle in Kruger, which rather nullifies the original premise of the borehole program to a certain extent, pre-global warming?
