Climate warning

A Canadian oil giant is ripping through my* homeland - Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta.

my*= I'm Thomas Muronga, Chair of the Kapinga Kamwalye Community Conservancy.
I'm devastated. A Canadian oil giant is ripping through my homeland - Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta. This home to Africa's largest remaining herd of elephants is directly at risk from corporate greed, but Namibia’s Minister of Environment and Tourism has the power to halt the devastation! He’s been delaying an overdue decision, and with enough international pressure, we could compel him to revoke ReconAfrica's drilling permit. Sign (agree) and take a stand with us.

          Shame on both the Namibian minister the oil company almost to destroy the beauty of Okavango Delta. It is saddening to put elephants in such danger especially noting that they are endangered species.
