Season of Creation: Fossil Fuel Project Devastation
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is being developed primarily by French oil company TotalEnergies, with a Chinese oil company and the governments of Uganda and Tanzania. The project would span roughly 900 miles and carry oil from western Uganda into Tanzania to a port on the Indian Ocean. Expected to come online by 2025, the pipeline’s proposed route passes near Lake Victoria, an important freshwater source for millions, and its exploration and drilling sites are located around Lake Albert and several national parks and wildlife preserves.
