NEED FOR CROWDSOURCING AND CROWDFUNDING

For a greater global economic development and stability, Environment Aware And Restoration Network( EARN) in Nigeria suggests environment decoupled from environmental degradation in which human prosperity and wellbeing are enhanced by restored environment and climate justice.
This is why EARN is worried and concerned about the environment in Nigeria severely degraded and damaged by incessant oil spills and open burning of crude oil which is internationally prohibited environmentally..
There is therefore need to for our nonprofit organization intervention to stem the spate of both oil spills and kpofires in the oil producing areas of Nigeria.

Humanitarian and donor agencies can do much by donating to our cause of environment restoration for green climate and low-carbon economy.

TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE JUSTICE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA

Traditionally, the oil pollution and environmental challenges at the discovery of crude oil in 1956 at Oloibiri in present day Bayelsa state in Nigeria were accidental oil spills,oil leaks from pipelines, seepages and gas flaring.
These challenges excalated to a threat to sustainable Environment with severe oil pollution and environmental degradation that need urgent expertise and crowdsourcing solutions.
Prof Sylvester Egwu, a Howard University trained Mechanical Engineer/ CEO ,Kaku Professional Engineers Ltd in an attempt to solve these problems founded Oil Spill Conference Nigeria (OSCN) in 2012.
OSCN started to sensitize and create public awareness on the evil side of crude oil in Nigeria. The evil side is when oil spills into the Environment causing devastating impacts on human,wildlife and the Environment itself.
Over the years from 1956,oil pollution has enormous damage that has rendered oil producing communities helpless and hopeless.
The communities have been afflicted with great tragedies of loss of livelihood,fishing industry, aquatic habitas and arable farmlands. Myriads of oil spills have impacted on the health of the residents of the communities resulting in higher risks of cancer of various forms, respiratory, neurological, developmental, reproductive and other health problems.
The conferencing program focused on these challenges and ways to mitigate and ameliorate the impacts on the communities living with crude oil and exposed to its production ramifications particularly the impact on vulnerable people, youths,women, disabled people, indigenous people and other groups that need help.
Our group advocacy and campaigns against oil pollution in Nigeria have been very impactful. OSCN had two successful events in Accra ,Ghana and several
conferences in different locations in Nigeria to address oil pollution challenges.
Apart from ….to Restoration of the environment .

FLOODED SECTION IN BAYELSA

Recent flooding in one of the communities of Bayelsa state accompanied by oily films that pollutes drinking water . The victims desperately need shelter, food, medicals, clean water and relief materials to survive.Please help u to help others.Thank you for your support.

Oil spill in Ogale fishing community needs our Nonprofit Organization, Environment Aware and Restoration Network( EARN) support to ameliorate the suffering of the victims.

Oil spill in Ogale fishing community needs our Nonprofit Organization, Environment Aware and Restoration Network( EARN) support to ameliorate the suffering of the victims. Please donate and thank you.

The water in Ogale, a rural community in Nigeria, is so toxic and polluted with oil that it comes out brown and stinks of sulphur. Children and families get sick just trying to bathe or stay hydrated. In Bille, a fishing community of around 45 islands surrounded entirely by water, there are no fish left. Oily water seeps into people’s homes, and, without a source of income, money is scarce. The signs that once warned people of the dangers of chronic pollution are covered in rust.
