More information: 

Argentina’s Environment Minister just announced a plan to kidnap capybaras from their natural habitat and send them to an isolated island - because residents of a local gated community are complaining that there are too many!

Ecologists say this cruel solution won’t work - and many residents say they want to coexist with these gentle giants, not drive them out.

Let’s back the residents organizing to protect their capybara neighbors with a wave of global support: Add your name to support the call for the Minister of Environment to abandon his removal plan immediately.
