As of October 2026: Planting in Teenama wetlands; one of a dozen women working the site
Periwinkles, crabs, and fish are back in Ogoniland's creeks after years without them. Women from the Lokiaka Community Development Centre have planted 3 million mangrove saplings, restoring 190 hectares of swamp forest that oil pollution had stripped bare. In parallel, the government's HYPREP project finished its first phase of restoration—1.5 million seedlings across 560 hectares—and started a second phase covering 438 hectares.
