“Voix du Paysan” to Train and Inform Citizens: A Commitment to Social and Climate Justice
In the face of the threat posed by the EACOP oil project, voices are rising from all sides: environmental activists, local communities, and civil society organizations have called on Total to abandon drilling in protected areas, particularly in parks rich in biodiversity. The message is clear: protecting nature also means safeguarding the livelihoods of nearby populations. Despite the growing mobilization, Total continues to move forward with plans to exploit these sensitive zones.
A Direct Threat to Biodiversity and Local Communities
Oil drilling in natural parks risks causing irreversible destruction to ecosystems. Unique animal and plant species are directly endangered, not to mention the local communities whose land, water, and livelihoods could be seriously affected. Oil extraction also undermines global efforts to combat climate change.
A Global #StopEACOP Call Ignored by Total
Despite international outcry and the growing #StopEACOP campaign, Total seems to ignore ethical, social, and environmental concerns. Civil society is calling for a collective awakening and stronger action to stop this project, demand a just energy transition, and protect humanity’s shared natural heritage.
