Zimbabwe plans to dehorn its 700-strong rhino population to discourage poaching after 50 animals were illegally killed last year, a wildlife conservation group said on Tuesday.

Drought-hit Zimbabwe has invited local farmers and private game rangers to buy wild animals as it destocks national game reserves to save fauna from starvation, the wildlife authority said Wednesday.

Three Zimbabwean journalists were charged on Wednesday over a report alleging that several policemen and wildlife officials were involved in the poisoning of some 60 elephants in recent months.

The professional hunter who helped an American dentist kill Zimbabwe's popular lion Cecil appeared in court Tuesday on new charges of planning to smuggle sable antelope out of the country.

Zimbabwean wildlife authorities on Monday partially lifted restrictions on big game hunting imposed earlier this month following the outcry over the killing by a US trophy hunter of Cecil the lion.
