The South African government promises more jobs through fossil fuel investment - BUT we see the opposite in “#CRUDE: Wentworth Community vs Big Oil”

Even with 60 years of Big Oil, the community finds itself even worse conditions, with low employment and high levels of poverty

About 50 000 wild species are used for food, energy, medicine, material & other purposes.

This includes many plants.

But often these plants are not sourced or used sustainably, which threatens #biodiversity.
