Defenders of Nature!


The Earth's biosphere is in danger. Our small planet is being rapidly destroyed by humans, and with the death of wildlife, the future of our children and generations is also dying. Environmental catastrophes are becoming more frequent and increasingly devastating, while wild animals are rapidly going extinct due to human actions.


Today, it has been scientifically proven that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction! In just the last 45 years, humanity has wiped out 70% of all living species on the planet.


The only barrier between those who destroy nature and Life is the immune system of our society—each one of us who is ready to find the strength to stand in defense of Earth.


We are now facing a new global threat. In African countries, governments have set a precedent for killing wild animals in reserves. In August, Namibia officially announced the killing of 723 large animals, such as elephants, hippos, zebras, and other species. And in September, the next country—Zimbabwe—declared that it will kill 200 elephants!


Under the guise of "humanitarian necessity," they plan to kill animals in reserves to butcher them for meat and feed the local population.



Planet Earth is our one shared Mother, and all ecosystems are interconnected. Can we just remain silent and watch as Earth's natural heritage is destroyed?


The problem is that African countries, under the pretext of "humanitarian necessity," have created a dangerous precedent: killing the rarest animals on the planet in reserves—on specially protected natural areas.


If the international community does not condemn such actions, if international organizations and concerned people do not stand up for wild animals, then this dangerous precedent will be adopted by other African countries!


Experts unanimously agree that in the coming years, African countries will face prolonged heat and drought. There will be no harvests! "Humanitarian necessity" will increase, leading to the continuous killing of wild animals and the final destruction of already endangered species.


TIME TO ACT!


For the first time in our collective efforts, we are taking a decisive stand against the extermination of animals in Africa's reserves! We may not be able to stop the current wave of killings, but we can ignite an immune reaction within the international community to prevent further killings of wild animals in reserves.


We have prepared official requests to international organizations to draw the global community's attention to the extermination of animals in Africa under the guise of "humanitarian necessity."


A protest note from the international community and a request to halt the destruction of Humanity's natural heritage. Additionally, we are engaging major global media to ignite an immune reaction within society across the planet!


Only in this way can we stop the crime against animals in Africa.


For years, we have successfully solved many environmental problems in Russia. Now let's help Africa's animals survive and not allow the governments to destroy them. Much depends on us!


We are sending mass requests to environmental organizations, the UN, as well as the European Commission's department for wildlife protection, which also has significant influence in African countries.


Let's show that the world sees this crime, and we demand an end to the destruction of animals!


SEND REQUESTS


Copy the letter text in English and change the name to your own! This is our appeal to the Ministries of Natural Resources of Namibia and Zimbabwe not to commit crimes against nature.


In the letter, include your name.


Dear colleagues in wildlife conservation,


We, concerned citizens, are reaching out to you with deep alarm regarding the events that could devastate Africa’s ecosystems and set a dangerous precedent. Mass killings of wild animals have begun in African reserves under the pretext of feeding local populations.


It has come to our attention that the government of Namibia has announced its intention to kill more than 700 wild animals, including those living in protected nature reserves. This decision was made to address food security issues, but the consequences of such actions could be catastrophic for biodiversity. Only a month later, the government of Zimbabwe followed suit, announcing the killing of 200 elephants to butcher them for meat to feed its people.


These actions, aimed at providing a short-term solution to food insecurity, are creating a dangerous precedent that may spark mass wildlife killings across the continent. In the face of escalating climate change, droughts, and worsening food security, African countries may start to adopt this trend, endangering rare and protected species in conservation areas.


We urge you to take notice of this issue and take immediate steps to protect Africa’s wildlife. Support international efforts to preserve biodiversity and stop this criminal precedent against Earth’s biosphere. Even if we cannot prevent the killings that have already been planned, we must come together to halt the spread of this trend and protect the future of Africa’s wildlife.


A detailed statement with further information and requests is attached in the PDF document.


I, [Name Surname], join the initiative of researcher Pavel Pashkov and other conservationists who stand against such actions. We believe that with your support, we can prevent further destructive measures and save Africa’s unique ecosystems.


The world is looking to you for help. We sincerely hope for your involvement and willingness to act in defense of Africa’s wildlife. Together, we can preserve wild animals for future generations!


Sincerely,

[Name Surname]


We have also prepared an official document with a protest note about the inadmissibility of exterminating animals.

Now send the letter text on your behalf to organizations and attach our protest note document. 


We are submitting a request to the European Union (EU), which has a dedicated environmental program. In addition, the EU has significant influence in African countries, and they can provide support in protecting wildlife and condemn the killings in reserves.


Send to email: ENV-EUROPA@ec.europa.eu 


If you encounter any issues, you can also submit through the form on the website.

The United Nations has an environmental protection division (UNEP). They can directly address the issue of wildlife destruction.

We are also submitting a separate request to the UN Regional Office for African countries.


Send to email: unep-africa@un.org

We are submitting a request to UNESCO, which is responsible for the protection of World Heritage and is actively working in the field of nature conservation around the world.


Send to email: info@unesco.org

The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) focuses on protecting African ecosystems and works with local governments! They may have direct connections with representatives of environmental ministries.

WHAT'S NEXT?


Our team will continue working with other international organizations, and we will also try to reach out directly to the governments of Namibia and Zimbabwe to convey our position.


Additionally, we are submitting requests to global media to create and sustain public resonance. The whole world must stand up for Africa's suffering animals!


The creation of a precedent for killing animals in reserves is unacceptable, and such cruelty cannot be justified! Let's do everything possible to ignite an immune reaction within society across the world.


After sending requests to organizations, your task is to spread the word on social media! This will help maintain and amplify public resonance. Post in your own words why you are against the killing of animals in Africa's reserves! Express your condemnation and encourage your friends to join our work.


Our Mission is the fight for Life!

Wake up, Dear Ones.
