Sample 1

ReconAfrica, a Canadian-registered junior oil and gas company, has started petroleum exploration in northeastern Namibia in the Kavango Basin, a large unexplored oil formation spanning Namibia and Botswana. ReconAfrica wants to open this brand-new basin up to make loads of $$$$$$!

We are in a climate emergency and the risks to the water and wealth of biodiversity in the area and downstream in the irreplaceable Okavango Delta are completely unacceptable!

We say no! #StopReconAfrica #KeepItInTheGround #SaveOkavangoDelta #KavangoAlive

Sample 2

Canadian junior fossil fuel company, ReconAfrica thought they struck BIG MONEY when they scooped up the rights to the unexplored Kavango Basin in Namibia and Botswana.

Did they forget we are in a climate emergency?

Their license areas are home to many threatened species, including the critically endangered black rhinoceros and the migratory routes for the endangered African savanna elephants.

Their license areas also lie in the Okavango River Basin and their big plans to drill for oil will risk the precious Okavango Delta downstream!

Did they forget that we are in a biodiversity crisis?

Did they think that we would just give up our future and our planet’s beautiful biodiversity for them to make some money?

Sample 3

Today, people across the world are standing up in solidarity for the people and wildlife that will be affected by ReconAfrica’s drilling plans in Namibia and Botswana.

ReconAfrica’s plans will cause ecocide and blow through what little is left of our global carbon budget.

We need your help! Take action with us today using Fridays For Future’s digital toolkit and post a picture with your sign supporting this cause!

🌍 TODAY IS A GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION! #StopReconAfrica & #SaveOkavangoDelta 🌍

Up to ONE SIXTH of the world’s remaining carbon budget. That is how much carbon is in the Kavango Basin that #ReconAfrica wants to open up! This drilling for oil will have disastrous consequences for not only the local environment but also people around the world.

What happens in Kavango won’t stay in Kavango.
