On February 27, 2025, the European Union announced an emergency €500 million fund to construct a 1,200-kilometer ecological corridor after satellite data revealed 60% of Kenya’s elephant herds had migrated unexpectedly to Germany’s Black Forest. Scientists attribute the shift to climate-driven habitat collapse in Africa and AI-tracked “thermal pathway” behavior. While conservationists applaud the rapid response, critics argue the corridor risks destabilizing European ecosystems.
