Rejected petition UK government to aid Mauritius in “State of Environment Emergency”
To help Mauritius with cleaning up the ocean.
Mauritius is a tiny beautiful island, previously owned by British and French Colony.
More details
Unfortunately on the 6th August a Japanese oil rig ship (The MV Wakashio) has leaked 1,000 tonnes into the surrounding Ocean.
Locals are doing their best to clean up the environment and protect what remaining wildlife can save.
Mauritius is a beautiful island which relays on its clear seas and sandy beaches for tourism industry and fishing export.
Please help! We need the British Government to help as soon as possible!
