John,

A majestic and essential breeding ground for elephants is about to be sold
off to international investors and destroyed, but a nearby Maasai
community is trying to come to the rescue -- we can help them win!

These indigenous leaders already run a wildly successful conservancy and
if they can show they have the resources to acquire the land and remove
the fencing that threatens migrating herds, the sellers say they have a
deal. But investors are already calling with big offers, so they need to
move fast -- that's where we come in!

Just 200 dollars will allow the community to grow the conservancy by a
whole acre of essential land! Together we can help create the longest
wildlife corridor in East Africa. Are you in?

We don't have any time to lose. The land could be swept into an
international investor agreement any day, and then all hopes of preserving
this wildlife corridor would be lost. And the more money we raise, the
more land the Maasai can clear and maintain! Giving them the power to
expand the survival of thousands of species!

For decades, private landowners have put up fences throughout Maasai Mara,
where wildlife need to be able to roam free in order to survive.
Wildebeests, giraffes and other creatures then get trapped in the wire,
dying slow, painful deaths.

Nashulai Maasai Conservancy changed that by uniting 6,000 acres where
humans and animals now live side-by-side, reviving ancient practices and
allowing all to flourish.They’ve been recognized by the UN for restoring
the threatened ecosystem, all while reducing poverty among their community
by training and paying young people to patrol and protect the land.

In just five years, the Nashulai Maasai Conservancy has turned once
abandoned land into a thriving home to 5,000 wildebeests and zebras, 100
giraffes, and five families of elephants, including 10 babies born in
recent months! And by creating jobs patrolling the area, they’ve found a
groundbreaking way to protect their livelihoods and their land.

If we can raise enough, the local community can move quickly to join the
conservancy, tear down the fences, and develop local capacity to protect
and regenerate this expanded wildlife corridor. And we can keep up our
campaigning to protect wild places worldwide. Can you chip in to make it
happen?

Time and time again, SumOfUs has stood with indigenous communities across
the globe. From joining forces with communities in Brazil to fight back
against the destruction of the Amazon to standing with activists in
Southeast Asia beating back the palm oil industry, when indigenous
communities ask for our help, we spring into action. Let’s do it again.



  Thanks for all that you do,  
Allison, Emma, and the SumOfUs team
