How do I get myself out of this hole?

I absolutely love elephants and I consider myself an empath. With everything that is happening in the U.S and now finding out that over 300 elephants have been found dead in Botswana I feel like I'm about to breakdown. There's just so much going on and I feel like there's nothing I can truly do to make a difference. I can vote( which I will), I have donated to non profits, I have participated in protests, but at the end of the day it's up to governments to truly change systems. I don't know what to do to help myself out of this hole. When I read the article my heart broke and I feel like giving up.
