Africa's last elephants

I'm devastated. A Canadian oil giant is ripping through my homeland - Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta. This home to Africa's largest remaining herd of elephants is directly at risk from corporate greed, but Namibia's Minister of Environment and Tourism has the power to halt the devastation! He's been delaying an overdue decision, and with enough international pressure, we could compel him to revoke ReconAfrica's drilling permit. Sign and take a stand with us. ReconAfrica, a Canadian oil and gas company tried to silence me with a bribe and a job offer.But my people are tired of corruption, and we will not remain silent as this oil giant threatens us, our rights and pushes wildlife closer to extinction.I'm Thomas Muronga, Chair of the Kapinga Kamwalye Community Conservancy.In our ancestral home, we've safeguarded iconic species like lions and giraffes, but Africa's elephants, once 26 million strong, have dwindled to under 450,000. The largest remaining elephant herd in Africa, a mere 130,000, that call the Okavango home, teeters on the brink, threatened by ReconAfrica. Can you imagine them no longer existing?In June 2022, we joined the Economic and Social Justice Trust, an advocacy group fighting corruption and advocating for rights in Namibia, in a massive appeal against Minister Pohamba Shifeta's approval of ReconAfrica's exploitative activities, despite its blatant violations of rights and laws.But after two years, we still have NO ruling. Meanwhile ReconAfrica can continue to pillage and disembowel our land and our livelihoods -- completely unchecked.Join our global call NOW to tell Minister Pohamba Shifeta to stop delaying a decision and save the Okavango Delta! For its people, my people and its magnificent wildlife -- sign now and share with those you know!

Sign Now Dear friends, ReconAfrica, a Canadian oil and gas company tried to silence me with a bribe and a job offer.

Save the Okavango To us, ReconAfrica personifies greed's relentless march, shrouded in the cloak of legality but devoid of moral compass, putting its financial interests before life. The vibrations from ReconAfrica's exploratory work continue to disturb elephants, and the increase in construction, roads and traffic has upended their migration routes, pushing them into unprepared villages, ravaging crops as they roam but also opening the area up to poachers. As local communities we were inadequately consulted or left unaware of the oil project. Our rights have been ruthlessly trampled, treating our lives and the wildlife we protect as though they are worthless. ReconAfrica's extraction efforts in the Okavango will likely result in a catastrophic disruption of Africa's largest remaining population of elephants. We are witnessing the accelerated extinction of earth's last great walkers When enough of us sign this petition, we will take it directly to Minister Shifeta in support of our appeal to defend the rights of my people and the rights of thousands of species who can't stand for themselves. Will we stand by and watch as corporate interests lay waste to one of Africa's last sanctuaries? No, we will unite to defend the Okavango and honor its sacred legacy! Save the Okavango As we stand on the brink of irreversible damage, the call to action has never been more urgent. We must rise against greed's onslaught and defend our sacred land. Join the battle to protect the Okavango Delta, before it's too late!

Survival 🌍

Dany, you may have already seen our fundraiser email below and decided not to contribute a regular amount. We understand that times are tough and becoming a regular donor right now is not possible. If you'd rather make a one-off donation instead, please chip in below: ---------- Climate scientists are freaking out.  Ocean temperatures are off the charts – they've broken records EVERY DAY for the past year!We shouldn't be seeing heat like this for another 20 years. Now Atlantic currents that regulate our entire climate are going haywire, and coral reefs from Mexico to Australia are blistering to death. The ocean's nurseries are withering. This is mass extinction in our lifetime. Millions of people are already running from wildfires, famine, and floods every year -- and it'll only get worse. The climate crisis will affect us all for the rest of our lives. The younger you are, the more severe it could become. Our movement has a pivotal role to play, right now. The legal battle to stop a giant oil pipeline in East Africa is on a knife's edge; Indigenous communities in the Amazon are fighting for crucial protections; and a potential lawsuit against BP for their toxic oil fields is just taking off. The weeks and months ahead could be decisive. Avaaz is only as strong as its members – and now we're counting on your support to launch our emergency plan. Read more below -- but if you're already feeling the extreme urgency of this moment, please support our fight by making a one-off donation. Avaaz is entirely funded by people like you, and the more we raise, the harder we can fight!

Beyond a certain temperature, we simply overheat and die. Some parts of the planet are now approaching that red line, when just a few hours outside can be deadly. Yet world leaders and CEOs still aggressively fuel this crisis. As our world bakes, this is the moment to harness public attention and force radical action. We're up against some of the most powerful corporations and governments on Earth. And while our voices are powerful, donations allow us to power months-long court cases, pivotal research, and direct advocacy in the halls of power. Our small donations, pooled from across the planet, will have a direct impact at this critical time. If we raise enough, our movement could: Support farmers and local communities to testify in court about Total's awful pipeline tearing through Tanzania and Uganda; Enable Amazon communities to defend the rainforest from oil giants and industrial farming plantations, and support their projects to help the forest regenerate; Accelerate our campaign to stop far-right extremists marching to victory. They threaten everything we stand for, so we're going all-out before major elections; and Ensure Avaaz can respond at lightning speed against the biggest threats to the environment, human rights, and democracy. The climate crisis is not just urgent or serious. It is existential. When the world is in peril, you don't stop fighting -- you go harder than ever. We'll do it together.
