To the Minister of the Environment Susana Muhamad and other local and environmental authorities of Colombia :

Capybaras in Colombia are perishing. Due to lack of water and shade, they are dying in mass, according to reports from farmers in the area. We demand that you investigate the situation, and work to control the expansion of the agricultural frontier and other threats to their habitat.

Dropping like flies
This furry friend, famous across the Americas, is perishing. Can you take a moment to help save the capybaras from the loneliest death of all?

Rampant agriculture in Colombia has shattered their home. And now, more vulnerable than ever, they're suffocating in a relentless heatwave, with no water or shade, dropping like flies.

The silent suffering of the capybaras is out of the radar. And if we don't escalate their plight now, the local authorities wont swing into action in time.

Add your voice and share this campaign to save the capybaras in Colombia. Once we rally half a million voices, we'll join forces with artists, ngo’s and the media, to pressure the authorities into saving this furry soul.
