UK species are under threat from habitat loss, climate change and pollution. We must do more to restore and protect nature and biodiversity. #RestoreNatureNow

#DRC
We can't eat or drink gas, let alone oil. Our volunteers are working hard to clean up #Kivu -lake in the east of the #DRC and spare it from any extractivist activity initiated by big polluters.

Plastic waste is a danger to people and the environment. We raise awareness among local communities of the need for responsible and sustainable management of protected areas, and call on the Congolese government to immediately suspend the oil and gas exploitation project.

We visited a site for displaced persons in the #east of the #DRCongo . We planted a few trees to immortalize the day, but also and above all as a reminder of the importance of a healthy environment in a context of crisis and violent conflict, as a guarantee of lasting peace.

#80YearsAreEnough #CancelTheDebt

On saturday, we organized an ecological march in the city of Goma in the eastern part of the #DRC to raise awareness communities along the shores of Lake Kivu on the responsible management of plastic waste and to denounce the authorities' initiative to put gas blocks up for sale

For over ten years , a vast oil project has been hanging over the #Virunga National Park. This mega-protected area in the DRC is a UNESCO World Heritage site, rich in exceptional biodiversity and home to the rare species, including mountain gorillas

Young people affected by armed conflict in the eastern #DRC play a leading role in forest governance.
In a context of widespread crisis, they are using the power of active non-violence to strengthen the resilience of local communities to the effects of global warming.

#NYAMILIMA : In rural areas, widows and other women survivors of sexual violence are more victims of the effects of global warming as a result of the precarious living conditions they lead. They opposed plans to put 27 oil blocks and 3 gas blocks in the DRC up for public sale.

It was unanimously agreed to take the matter to the President pointing out that this act violates Congolese conservation laws and that it is urgent for him to reverse this decision, which will jeopardize the park's biodiversity and the lives of over 5 million inhabitants.

NO TO THE SALE OF OIL AND GAS BLOCKS IN THE DRC, YES TO RENEWABLE ENERGY.
#ISHASHA
On March 08, we organized a day of reflection with members of the communities bordering #Virunga Park on the recent decision of the president to auction 27 oil blocks and 3 gas blocks.

The elections have come to an end.None of the candidates mentioned the climate crisis that is shaking #DRC .The decision to auction oil and gas was of no concern to anyone. #Virunga Park is ravaged by armed conflict and the Congo River is experiencing unbearable flooding.

We are a resilient and courageous people. We are urgently calling on the world to take peaceful initiatives to secure the cancellation of tenders to sell oil and gas blocks located in vulnerable protected areas. Not to do so is to sacrifice biodiversity, local communities.

The big polluters already have to pay for the losses and damage caused to the peoples of the Global South, ruined by injustice on all sides. We demonstrated to demand justice.
