Today, artists, musicians, poets, community members, and climate activists in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are joining forces to raise awareness of the dangers of oil exploration in Virunga National park. The group is hosting a creative arts space aimed at highlighting the\u00a0Fossil Free Virunga campaign<\/a>, which faults the government for issuing licenses for oil exploration in the park, which is Africa’s oldest national park and calls for a halt to oil development activities in the area. The event features song, dance, music, and art to highlight the risks posed by oil exploration activities to the environment, endangered species of wildlife, and the livelihoods of local communities. The event will also be live-streamed on the\u00a0Afrika Vuka<\/a>\u00a0platform.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
