To the Minister of the Environment Susana Muhamad, Corporinoquia and other authorities of Colombia :

The capybaras in Colombia need you. Due to lack of water and shade, entire families are dying, 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.

More Information:

It breaks my heart. The heat and lack of trees, shade, and water are killing them.

The largest rodent in the world, the adorable capybara, cannot protect itself from the infernal heatwave suffocating Colombia.

Farmers from Casanare are asking us for help. The authorities are nowhere to be found.

With your support, we can get the authorities to react before it's too late! Add your name to create an environmental alert to save the life of the capybaras.

When we reach half a million voices, we will work with artists, groups and media to pressure environmental authorities to protect this furry soul. Sign and share this campaign!
