A paper in Oryx, May 1970, Elephants or Fire – Which to Blame?, by R.M. Lawton and Mary Gough, may have given a wrong impression of the ecological work being carried out by the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and National Parks in the Luangwa Valley game reserves. The authors of the paper disagree with the policy of culling animals within the game reserves, and consider that the Control of fire should be a primary aim in management.
