My organization rewild stands with save_the_okavango (SOUL) in their fight to protect the Okavango River Basin of Botswana and Namibia. Visit the link in bio to join them and take action today.
Alongside uoftlaw’s International Human Rights Program, SOUL has filed a complaint with the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise against ReconAfrica - a Canadian-based oil and gas company threatening the Okavango watershed in Namibia. Their exploratory drilling has led to serious human rights abuses that have devastated local Indigenous Peoples, their land, the wildlife populations they depend on, and one of the most critical wildlands for the health of our planet.
Join Re:wild in asking the Namibian government to revoke ReconAfrica’s drilling permit to help protect these communities and this vital ecosystem. Visit the link in bio to add your name to the over 450,000 avaaz_org signatures calling to halt this exploitation.
