- Botswana's government is dragging its feet in trying to learn the cause of sudden death of hundreds of elephants, conservationists say.
- Almost 400 elephants have dropped dead since early May. Nobody knows why.
- After weeks of government inaction, tests have only just been sent to laboratories, where it is not certain the samples will be any use, according to conservation charity National Park Rescue.
- Co-founder Mark Hiley told Business Insider that it is "one of the biggest disasters to impact elephants this century."

Authorities in Botswana are dragging their heels in efforts to investigate the sudden death of at least 350 elephants in the space of two months, conservationists told Business Insider.
