Environmental justice and protection are non-negotiable. NEPA’s mediation in the Rio Cobre spill case weakens accountability and Jamaica’s environmental safeguards.
Act now: Demand transparency and stronger enforcement. Raise your voice—write to representatives, and spread awareness!

From the Dec 2023 oil spill to Nov 2024 mediation, critical moments reveal NEPA's failure to hold polluters accountable.
Jamaica deserves better!
Act now: Email dpp@moj.gov.jm to call for an investigation into NEPA’s actions and stronger environmental enforcement.
