Parks public relations officer Edward Mbewe said an African Wildlife Consultative Forum, aimed at pressing for the lifting of the ban, had been set up.
"Culling of elephants is prohibited under the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and we formed this forum to fight this ban," he said.
The forum includes Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia, among others.
Mbewe said they would come up with a common position on what they would present at the next CITES meeting in order to lift the ban.
"We want to go out united and tackle the problem as a region so that we speak with one voice," he said.
The growing population of elephants in Zimbabwe, which was increasing by between 5 and 7 percent per year, is worrying the authority.
Mbewe said the country's current elephant population was estimated at more than 100 000 while the stockpile of ivory topped 10 tonnes last year. Trade in ivory was banned following a massive surge in illegal poaching that resulted in sharp declines of elephant populations in some parts of the world.
Zimbabwe, however, faced an opposite problem. ' New Ziana.
The African Wildlife Consultative Forum is sponsored by the peak hunting organisation Safari Club International. The main aim of this organisation is to promote the use of firearms to kill wildlife for sports and trophy. Zambia's push to move elephant from a CITES I to a CITES II is a major blow for the very small elephant populations in Zambia. There is no 'sustainable' use that can be applied in this country. The massive poaching for ivory that orrutred in Zambia in the 1980s saw the population all but wiped out and the 30 years since then sees elephant in increasing conflict with human encroachment. The sale of ivoryu stockpiles by some Sub-saharan nations has seen an increas in illegal hunting. Do not be fooled by such as this group hiding behind 'conservation principles' pushing their own interests to make money.
