A Canadian oil and gas giant just started drilling in 8.5 million acres of protected wetlands near the world-famous Okavango Delta -- home to some of the oldest Indigenous communities in southern Africa, and 130,000 elephants...one of the largest remaining herds on Earth.

Their lives are all on the line, but local activists have a plan to stop the destruction -- and they've asked for our help!

The company, ReconAfrica, failed to properly consult impacted communities, despite a Namibian law requiring it. Activists believe that because of the area's fame, if SumOfUs members can urgently fund key groups to launch an international PR offensive and organize local resistance -- we can force the government to pull the plug.

Can you chip in to quickly get local groups the funds they need, and defend one of the world's largest wetlands?
