The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism in Namibia has initiated a large-scale culling of wildlife across national parks. Among the targeted animals is Bennie, the last mature desert elephant bull, one of only 120 desert elephants remaining.

This decision threatens Namibia’s unique wildlife heritage, as 723 animals, including rare species, face culling under the guise of drought aid.

There are sustainable alternatives that can support local communities without harming wildlife. Plant-based proteins can provide nutritional aid, and non-lethal wildlife management methods can be implemented to protect animals and people alike.

By signing this petition, you will advocate for Namibia's wildlife and help preserve the biodiversity and natural beauty that benefit us all. Act now to save these animals—their lives matter just as much as ours.
