Our Goal
Calling for a comprehensive plan to clean and restore polluted lands and waters, with community participation and oversight.
For more than half a century, oil spills and gas flaring have poisoned the land, rivers, and forests of the Niger Delta. Bayelsa State has been described as one of the most polluted places on Earth, with communities facing toxic water, ruined farmland, and severe health risks.
Despite billions in profit taken by International Oil Companies (IOCs), little has been done to repair the damage. A clean-up is not only a matter of environmental necessity—it is a matter of survival, dignity, and justice for millions of people whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed.
Why It Matters
Restoring Damaged Ecosystems
Decades of oil pollution have devastated farmland, rivers, and forests, requiring urgent and science-led clean-up efforts.
Protecting Human Health
Communities face increased disease, unsafe drinking water, and food insecurity, making health-centered recovery essential.
Ensuring Community Oversight
Restoration efforts must be transparent and guided by those most affected, ensuring accountability and long-term trust.
