The animals that we've known and loved since childhood are in danger. Many species of Africa's most famous wildlife are starting the make the endangered list, with only humans to blame. Can you imagine a world without stories of lions and elephants? These beautiful creatures are being hunted and systematically destroyed by poachers. These illegal hunters' methods have become so fierce and organized that reservations are having to protect themselves with near military-like forces.

Okavango sits on an open savanna in Botswana, Africa. It was opened back in the 80's as a wildlife reservation and sanctuary. Since then, their mission has stayed the same: protect South Africa's diverse fauna. They have run for many years off of government funds and donations, and now, they are opening their doors for a new program. Young zoologist majors from around the world are being invited to come for the summer and shadow experts and specialists of their field. The collage students are chosen by an essay and project contest. The top ten winners are flown to Okavango and put up for two whole months to study and experience the animals they have only seen at zoos and museums.

The intentions of this program is to teach the newer generations the importance of conservation. But while this sanctuary may seem like heaven, our young students may just be thrust into a warzone. Will they be able to fend off the money hungry poachers?

------------------

So the gist of this idea is Captain Planet meets vicious organized crime. There's big money in animal poaching, and the poachers are a borderline guerilla-esque crime syndicate with military weapons. The students are at the park to learn about different animals species and conservation tactics first hand, but they will also get up close and personal with some of the most vicious criminals in South Africa.

This RP will be player driven. It will be sandbox style for the most part, with events that will players can chose to take part in. Feel free to voice questions, comments, and concerns in this thread.

@Metronome Tentatively interested in this if you're still up for it - although I'm a little concerned about tone. This seems like it has the potential to get very dark, but it could also go in the complete opposite direction and be more light hearted slice of life kinda thing, and I was wondering which way you would want it to skew?

I prefer dark, but I am cool with whatever tone. This is one of the most interesting topics I have seen on here. I really hope it works out.

It'll probably bounce back and forth, honestly. I can't commit myself to just one tone.

I wonder if I posted another thread in the general interest section if I could get a few more people. I'd like at least five people to commit before I go and make an entire thread.
