John,

French oil giant Total is wreaking havoc in a protected elephant sanctuary in Uganda -- all for the sake of profit.

The greedy oil company is drilling and exploiting the elephants' safe haven, forcing them out into the surrounding populated areas.

Five people have already been killed by elephants fleeing drilling vibrations. Total is putting these elephants in great danger as local villages are threatening retaliatory attacks!

The Ugandan government can prevent a major catastrophe from happening and stop Total's greedy operations in elephant territory

Tell the Ugandan Wildlife Authority: kick Total out of the sanctuary NOW.

Murchison Falls National Park is one of Uganda’s most important wild habitats, home to herds of majestic elephants, hippos, chimpanzees and rare storks.

For Total, it’s just another place to tear apart for oil.

That’s terrible news for both elephants and neighbouring communities. As precious habitats have been stripped away, elephants across Africa have increasingly come into conflict with farmers, destroying crops and injuring and killing people. Elephants are often killed in response.

Park authorities have rejected the report from environmental advocacy group AFIEGO as "rumormongering". But they’ve failed to produce an alternative assessment — meaning they can hide behind ignorance and carry on as normal.

With massive public pressure we can force them to commission an independent investigation into Total’s operations, and then use the findings to protect people, elephants and myriad species from harm.

There’s no time to lose — Total is already seeking permission to EXPAND drilling operations in the national park! Sign now:
