@CanadianPM @EU Fight with us! The Canadian Company #ReconAfrica has snuck past us and brought potential ecocide to our pristine ecosystems in the Kavango. Our ecosystem will be destroyed by a Canadian Company that harvests the 90% of the profits!
⁠
⁠
⁠
@UNESCO #ReconAfrica ’s license overlaps with the KAZA Transfrontier Park,six locally managed wildlife reserves and a UNESCO world heritage site! Endangered African wild dogs, leopards, giraffes, birds and rare flora will be affected if ReconAfrica starts drilling.

@UN_PGA @UNAfrica #ReconAfrica’s exploration license extends across the home territory of San peoples the First Nations of Namibia and Botswana. They were ghosted throughout the process. Amplify their voices. #MAPAVoices

⁠
@UNESCO @CanadianPM #ReconAfrica limits our already declining global carbon budget. And crippling the global efforts to move away from fossil fuels. We should not allow them to destroy such a globally important conservation area, under the guise of economic development.

⁠
@ForeignPoli_C @BotswanaRBLX @CanadianPM @JoeBiden Underground water in Namibia will not only be polluted but also depleted by #ReconAfrica ‘s oil drilling projects. How do we justify giving an overseas Canadian and USA company unbridled access to our most precious resource?
⁠
⁠
⁠
@HageGeingob @BotswanaRBLX On one hand we are served with idleness and denial from our government. On the other, the company #ReconAfrica nonchalantly expresses its eagerness, plans and as well as already scouting for investors for oil and gas development in the Kavango. Who do we believe?
⁠
⁠
⁠
@HageGeingob A government letting down the nation with natural resource mismanagement? or a company greenwashing their addiction to oil with construction of wells for the affected communities. The communities never asked for wells. Stop the #ReconAfrica project in Kavango land!
⁠
⁠
⁠
@BotswanaRBLX @HageGeingob Stop the #ReconAfrica project in Kavango land! The natural economy does not belong to the Namibian government, it belongs to the Namibian people. We were not consulted in this decision. The 10% Namibian shareholding will not reach the communities!
⁠
⁠
⁠
@GretaThunberg @EU Our current economic woes do not justify the selling out of Kavango land, ecosystems, and livelihoods of the people. Fight with us by sharing our petitions, and tell the Namibian and Canadian governments that this is unacceptable.
⁠
⁠
@ParkEnergyLaw @Halliburton #ReconAfrica claims that it will be drilling 1000s of wells into our land. First the colonialists stole our land, now big oil and gas is in cahoots with our government to take our land again! #FrackOff
