Congo to Auction Land to Oil Companies: ‘Our Priority Is Not to Save the Planet’ (Published 2022)

Peatlands and rainforests in the Congo Basin protect the planet by storing carbon. Now, in a giant leap backward for the climate, they’re being auctioned off for drilling.

That's our Cohort One accelerator kick-off done! Last week we were joined by representatives from all six of our new cohort members in our London HQ. We can't wait to work more with these dynamic and innovative climate startups and support them to grow their impact 🌍

Garamba, DRC, has reported that no elephant carcasses with signs of poaching have been discovered since September 2019! This means we, together with the DRC Government, have achieved 17 consecutive months with no discovery of poached elephants – the longest period in decades.
