Water is a fundamental human right; affected Eastern Cape residents want their water restored permanently without paying for water from water tankers, walking long distances, or boiling dirty water for drinking and cooking, which imposes health hazards. Having their water supply repaired will give the community members, residents, businesses, schools, universities and their students the dignity to complete their day to day tasks. Public bathrooms could be re-opened and give them the pride of being able to wash hands, bathe and keep their town clean. According to the United Nations, the people of Butterworth and surrounding areas have been fighting for years to access safe drinking water, a human right. (https://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/RES/64/292). For five years, their calls have gone unanswered, and it's now up to us - a global community who will not stand for injustice - to speak up. Sign this petition and add your voice to those of the vulnerable waterless communities of the Eastern Cape. Access to clean water is a constitutional right. Please sign this petition to protect your fundamental global human right.

Our Town St Helena Bay is totally dependant on our fishing industry, if the chemicals destroy our fish, we would be crippled as a community and our local economy destroyed. We dont have the knowledge and the correct-info to deal with the issues please help us.

It is time for the People of South Africa to make their voice heard in the incompetencies and bad governance we are experiencing, we can no longer stay quiet while our natural resources are sold to the highest bidder, our environment is destroyed and our animals decimated by bad and incompetent decision makers.

Apart from the negative impact of a filthy Rooidam in one of South Africa's most beautiful cities, it's also a safety risk to those that are brave enough to venture to the once popular Rooidam. We humbly ask the newly elected Mayor of Mangaung, Honorable Mxolisi Siyonzana to instruct the relevant department to clean up the Rooidam and rid it of the filth and hyacinths so that the community can once again enjoy making new memories at this Rooidam.

Please help us protect the marine life, environment, and fishing and tourism industries of the Western Cape!

5G represents an international environmental crime against humanity and our planet as per this Published Scientific Research on 5G, 4G Small Cells, Wireless Radiation and Health: https://ehtrust.org/scientific-research-on-5g-and-health/ Has anyone considered conducting deep research into how 5G is going to affect our Bees and Birds and the critical eco-system services they provide? "RADIATION FROM CELLPHONES, WI-FI, IS HURTING THE BIRDS AND THE BEES; 5G MAY MAKE IT WORSE": https://www.newsweek.com/migratory-birds-bee-navigation-5g-technology-electromagnetic-radiation-934830 Internationally, municipalities are calling to halt 5G: https://ehtrust.org/international-actions-to-halt-and-delay-5g/. In Switzerland, the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, and Neuchatel have blocked the deployment until safety is proven. (Read the full list here: https://ehtrust.org/international-actions-to-halt-and-delay-5g/) Dr Devra Davis provides "The truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwyDCHf5iCY Telecommunications Minister Siyabonga Cwele announced in September 2013 that "South Africa had made agreements allowing cellphone networks to release 5G in South Africa: https://www.businessinsider.co.za/south-africa-will-only-get-5g-in-2020-telecommunications-minister-siyabonga-cwele-says-2018-9" with ZERO reference made to how this radioactive hazard will affect people's health and the environment at large? Was that given ANY thought? South Africans have NOT been accurately and truthfully informed about the extensive health risks associated with exposure to 5G radiation, yet, Vodacom originally announced in July 2018 that "5G will drive massive fiber deployment": https://brandspurng.com/2020/05/05/vodacom-launches-5g-in-south-africa/ ?

For decades, South Africa's Wild Coast has been a pristine and untouched coastline vital to the biodiversity of the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal. Such a plan will impact impoverished communities hardest by devastating fish populations in shallow ocean water and the Wild Coast and Eastern Cape rivers. It will also devastate whale and dolphin populations who will beach and become disorientated due to the constant seismic blasting. Please support this petition before it is too late.

It is an integral part of my community. In the fight against climate change, it is so vital that we look at solutions that benefit us all.

L'importance est justement de lutter contre la déforestation pour empêcher le réchauffement climatique et la destruction de notre environnement.

I am writing this petition as a concerned resident who has lived in the delta all my life. I am a pastoral farmer, and I have fiercely guarded our environment for all the years I have lived here. There are no physical drilling activities in Botswana, but I believe that Recon Africa will expand its active exploration into our country following their initial drilling in Namibia. I am convinced that once the oil is discovered, the company will proceed with their production phase, which is a primary environmental concern, as it would generate a significant amount of greenhouse gas, contributing to the overall problem of global heating. As Batswana, we should learn from what happened in the Niger delta. The marshland has been destroyed, no fish are left, and much biodiversity has been lost due to oil spills. It will take many years to recover – if ever! There is nothing left for the people of the Niger delta. Botswana must never find itself in such a regrettable situation. The residents of Ngamiland have a long history of environmentalism. Our forefathers were one of the first in Africa to take a consensus decision in 1963 to form a conservation society to protect the Moremi Game Reserve. Now, as a young conservationist, I appeal to others to join me in protecting our fragile ecosystem by rejecting the decision to allow these activities that threaten our wetlands and, consequently, the future livelihoods of those who live there.

Pourquoi faut-il agir maintenant ? Au cœur de l’Afrique, la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), avec ses 135 207 000 hectares de forêts, est considérée comme l’un des pays d’Afrique les plus importants du fait de son extraordinaire richesse génétique spécifique, couvrant 60% des forêts du bassin du Congo. Elle abrite en effet une large gamme de biomes, d’écosystèmes et d’habitats qui lui confèrent la première place parmi les pays africains en termes de diversité des espèces. On y trouve plus de 10 000 espèces de plantes, une faune aussi abondante que variée, avec environ 480 espèces de mammifères, 1080 espèces d’oiseaux, etc. Les forêts et la biodiversité congolaise sont sérieusement menacées par la chasse et la pêche non contrôlées, le commerce de la viande de brousse, la destruction et la fragmentation de l’habitat faunique, surtout le braconnage des espèces clés pour satisfaire l’insatiable appétit de l’Occident. Le degré et l’étendue de la violence perpétrée par les braconniers et les trafiquants sur les espèces sauvages menacent la paix, la sécurité, l’état de droit et les conditions de vie des populations. Alors que des efforts énormes sont consentis pour la restauration de la biodiversité et la crédibilité de la RDC en ce que ce pays apporte des solutions au changement climatique et à la problématique de la survie de l’humanité, un Arrêté interministériel vient de tout annihiler. En effet, l’Arrêté n°006/CAB/MIN/EDD/2020 et CAB/MIN/FINANCES/2020/069 portant fixation des taux des droits, taxes et redevances en matière d’installation classée à percevoir à l’initiative du Ministère de l’Environnement et Développement Durable, en matière de gestion forestière du 24 juillet 2020 publié au journal officiel, libéralise le commerce illicite et illégal des espèces protégées. Selon cet Arrêté, personne ne peut plus être inquiété ni poursuivi en justice pour avoir tué un Okapi ou toute espèce protégée. En clair, les pointes d’ivoire sont admises à être vendues à la cité. Il n’y a plus de trafic illicite. Et pourtant, la loi n°14/003 du 11 février 2014 relative à la conservation de la nature stipule à son article 14, qu’il est interdit de : « prélever, pêcher, capturer, harceler ou tuer délibérément des spécimens des espèces protégées. Aussi « perturber intentionnellement ces espèces, notamment durant la période de reproduction, de dépendance, d’hibernation ou de migration » ; de détruire, endommager, enlever, ramasser les œufs des espèces ou en modifier la position ; détériorer ou détruire les sites de reproduction, les aires de repos ou tout habitat naturel où vivent ces espèces à l’un des stades de leur cycle biologique. De détenir, transporter, échanger, vendre ou acheter, offrir ou céder à titre gratuit les spécimens ou toute partie de ces espèces prélevés dans la nature ; détenir, céder, vendre, acheter ou transporter tout produit dont l’emballage ou la publicité annonce contenir des spécimens appartenant à l’une des espèces protégées et, enfin, exposer dans les lieux publics ces spécimens.
