Disaster in Paradise: Oil Spill in the Verde Island Passage

On February 28, a tanker carrying 800,000 liters of industrial oil capsized off the coast of Oriental Mindoro - one of five provinces encompassed by the Verde Island Passage.

Urgent action and accountability is needed for communities and critical biodiversity.

During the first week of COP 27 on November 8 we are calling out Shell for fueling the climate crisis and wreaking destruction to VIP.
