WATCH: Oil exploration spells disaster for Conkouati-Douli National Park, Congo

Despite a $50 million forest protection deal signed with the likes of France and the EU at COP28, the government of the Republic of Congo has given a little-known Chinese oil company the green light to rip up the country’s most biodiverse protected area. But not all hope is lost. 

Watch and share this video to put a stop to donors’ latest attempt to greenwash ecocide in Africa. They’re counting on you not to.

LET'S DEMAND!

  • The immediate cancellation of the Conkouati oil permit
  • The enforcement of Congo’s ban on extractive activities in all its national parks
  • A halt to donor aid to “forest conservation” until the Conkouati permit is scrapped
