Zoka Forest is Uganda’s last big tropical rainforest in West Nile. It stores carbon, makes rain & holds wild coffee genes that can save Uganda’s $800M coffee industry from climate change.
With all the above richness, this is the current destruction in Zoka Forest.
What a Pity.

"Over 90% of new renewable projects are now cheaper than fossil alternatives. Gas-fired power is now 3x to 4x more expensive than solar and wind."
In @StandardKenya, @350's Rukiya Khamis argues that Africa must stop betting on fossil fuels. High prices and supply shocks are pushing communities to the brink, yet billions are still funneled into projects like EACOP. Read the full article here sl1nk.com/3b3yk0a
Africa holds immense renewable potential - it’s time to fund the future, not the past. 🌍

No corporation should make billions from war, suffering, and energy insecurity. Total Energies made $5.4 billion in profits over the first three months of 2026, a 29% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Fossil fuel dependence makes economies more volatile, puts communities in danger, and helps the wealthy few profit from wars. Accelerating an equitable transition towards renewable energy is essential to a more stable and peaceful future.

Africa cannot develop on energy that everyday people cannot afford! Right now, our communities are choosing between buying food and paying skyrocketing energy bills driven by volatile fossil fuels.

This #AfrikaVuka week, we are demanding an end to expensive, unreliable fossil fuel projects. We want a transition to community-led, subsidized renewable energy that powers every home affordably.
Join the movement! #AffordableEnergyNow #PowerThePeople #FossilFuelsCostTooMuch

An important discussion. I support affordable local solar and wind because they can lower bills, cut pollution and strengthen energy security for communities.

Fossil fuels are keeping Africa in the dark and driving up our bills. We demand localized, affordable solar and wind energy for ALL households. Power to the people, not the polluters! #AfrikaVuka #AffordableEnergyNow

Why are African governments spending billions subsidizing foreign fossil fuel corporations while citizens pay record-high prices for dirty energy? True climate justice is economic justice. Shift the subsidies! Remove tariffs on solar equipment.

We call out the pollsters to get out of our land and urge our government to prioritize investment in clean and Renewable Energy for the health of our planet.

Action starts with a single stroke of a pen. Proud to stand with those who aren't just watching change happen, but are actively authoring it. 🖊️🌍 #NatureTalk_A #ClimateAction @350Africa @OxfamAmerica
A signature might look like a small thing. Just a name written in ink but carries weight. It means someone showed up and chose to be among the changemakers saying this matters enough for me to put my name on it.
#NatureTalk_A is fully represented.

Happy to see our own @Eather @RefineryOil representing us!
East Africa Women’s Land & Climate Justice Convergence, Kenya 🇰🇪
Regional participants shared how #women in some regions have #organized collectively to #defend communal land. In some cases their mobilization led to recognition of communal #land ownership 🌳🌍
