Is @TotalEnergies compromising the protection of the #environment and #biodiversity with a total of 426 oil wells in the #Tilenga #oil project, including #MurchisonFalls National Park? #Uganda #StopEACOP monitor.co.ug/uganda/oped/co…

Is this the End, The Beginning? Save #Virunga will always remain as long as we have protected areas that need our collective action. It might feel threatening, but activism plays an important role in raising awareness & challenging status quo. savevirunga.com/2022/04/18/t…

#Virunga is the symbol of so many protected areas that too often don’t reach the headlines… All these new names tell us the same old story about the systematic attack against the integrity of protected areas when #greed & money trumps MotherEarth savevirunga.com/2022/04/18/t…

Is the oil threat totally gone? Certainly not. #TotalEnergies is eager to start oil exploitation in #MurchisonFalls National Park in Uganda & the EACOP pipeline threatens re-opening critical ecosystems including #Virunga & LakeEdward to oil. savevirunga.com/2022/04/18/t…

What to Say after 10 Years Save Virunga? #Virunga is still here. No #oil exploration is taking place within its boundaries. #SOCO left; #TotalEnergies, even if they continue doing their ‘dirty’ oil business across the border, left. Virunga survived. savevirunga.com/2022/04/18/t…

Thanks to #Virunga National park at least 120 convoys organized each month on one of the deadliest roads of DRC, securing more than 100,000 travelers per month. Less attacks and kidnappings of civilians #Conservation #Security  m.youtube.com/watch?v=066BBk…
