Alleged environmental pollution, human rights violations and attempts to silence critics are detailed in a new complaint filed with a federal corporate watchdog against Canadian fossil fuel company ReconAfrica.

Canadian driller ReconAfrica, facing lawsuits and investigations, has left angry communities and fractured landscapes in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta watershed.

ReconAfrica is drilling for fossil fuel near the protected Okavango River Delta. So far, there’s been no oil, but there have been big profits.

Farms, water, and endangered wildlife are threatened as ReconAfrica expands its operations despite violations.

Canada-based ReconAfrica appears to have flouted Namibian law, legal experts say.
