The East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project, connecting the Tilenga and Kingfisher oilfields in western Uganda with the port of Tanga in eastern Tanzania, has raised concerns over its impact on ecosystems and exacerbating the global climate crisis. The pipeline’s construction will disrupt sensitive ecosystems, including Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park and the Murchison Falls-Albert Delta Ramsar site.
