| Abstract | African savannah elephant numbers have been decreasing throughout most of Africa due to anthropogenic action. Population fragmentation and a decline in numbers can lead to lower adaptability and evolutionary potential, and greater inter-population differentiation. Fragmentation and confinement to protected areas areas are increasing. The Associated Private Nature Reserves (APNR) is adjacent to the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa. Previously fenced, the borders between the two areas are now open. KNP elephants were nearly extirpated by early 20th century. We aimed to determine the APNR and KNP elephants’ current conservation status at a genetic level. |
