To President Khama:

As global citizens concerned with the environmental damage fracking can cause, we call on you to protect Botswana’s amazing wildlife and fragile ecosystems by banning all fracking activities in Botswana's national parks with immediate effect.

Fracking Elephants to Death?!
Fracking shakes the core of the earth, destroying land from the inside out and wreaking havoc on the people and animals on the surface. In a crazy move, Botswana is gearing up to frack in the middle of the delta that hosts the world’s largest elephant migration -- a breathtaking procession of tens of thousands of these majestic animals.

Fracking could kill the elephants, poisoning the water they drink in their dry season home. That's likely why Botswana has so far, kept the fracking exploration quiet, hoping no one will find out.

We can shine a million-strong global spotlight on this attack on elephants and the environment. And next week, world leaders are meeting in Botswana at an emergency Elephant Summit to discuss how to protect elephants globally. It's the perfect time to make the frack attack a huge issue and shame Botswana into protecting, not poisoning, their elephants. Click below to join the call.
