Oil company SOCO International and the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo

11/15/2014

In Congo and Tanzania areas with oil and minerals may lead to redefining national parks so that the areas where oil or minerals are found are excluded from the parks. Because of the size of the discoveries involved, the governments in the region and the oil companies are reluctant to give up the fight to continue exploration. With its long history of exploitation during colonial times and in recent decades with militias using the money generated leaving the people to live in poverty and conflict- effort needs to be focussed on creating a situation in which the oil and mineral resources can be used for economic growth and development.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
