oilspill

Mauritius oil spill emergency

This is the oilspill in Mauritius where a ship carrying 4,000 tonnes of fuel oil, ran aground on a coral reef off the Indian Ocean island on 25 July. 

The need for help is urgent. Fridaysforfuture.mauritius says Mauritan Wildlife Foundation is where we can donate money to help in the oil spill recovery! Go to their homepage and donate if you can, the situation is urgent and still not resolved: https://www.mauritian-wildlife.org/home

Update: There’s also these two organisations that I got recommend who works with the Mauritius cleanup:
