Destroying Africa’s Eden for oil!?

I'm devastated. A Canadian oil giant is ripping through my homeland - Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta. The Delta, home to Africa's

A Canadian oil giant is ripping through Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta. The Delta, home to Africa's largest remaining herd of elephants faces direct risk. This relentless corporate pillage threatens to obliterate this untouched wilderness, plundering resources and placing the majestic elephants at grave risk. The Namibian Minister of Environment and Tourism can halt the devastation but he’s delaying his decision. With enough international pressure, we can compel him to revoke ReconAfrica's drilling permit. Sign now and take a stand!

To Pohamba Shifeta, Minister of Environment and Tourism in Namibia:

As global citizens, we urgently call on you to revoke the drilling permit that allows ReconAfrica to destroy the wilderness and threaten the local community culture to search for oil. We urge you to stand with the Kavango communities and protect the Okavango Delta!

The Earth’s rivers are dying...

But in weeks, governments could decide to kickstart the biggest water protection effort in history! Let’s make it happen!

The Earth's rivers are dying – and that means we are too. Experts say that unless we act now, two-thirds of the world’s population may face safe water shortages in the next two years. It will affect billions of us! We need urgent global action to turn this around – and right now, we have a chance to get it! Countries are about to gather for the first UN Water Conference in almost 50 years to consider bold plans to restore the world's dying rivers and secure water as a fundamental human right, not for profit. Insiders say that with enough public pressure, we could win unprecedented protections for rivers and the water they carry. But laggard governments and big corporations will fight back to derail action! So let’s build a tidal wave of public support for Earth’s water and deliver the voices of people everywhere in a resounding roar to save our precious lakes, rivers, and freshwater ecosystems while we still can!

"Just like freedom, Truth is not cheap. Yet both are worth more than all the gold in the world. But what is freedom, if there is no truth? And what is truth, if there is no freedom? Both are worth fighting for — because one without the other would be hell."
