"A South African court has banned Shell from searching for fossil fuels along
the country’s Wild Coast, a decision hailed by campaigners as a “massive
victory” for the planet.
Last year, petroleum giant Shell announced that it would start searching for
oil and gas reserves off the nation’s eastern coast. The government had granted
the company exploration rights in 2014, renewing them in 2021.
Under the ruling, Shell could conduct underwater explosions to locate deep-sea
oil and gas reserves.
But the plans met with fierce opposition on the ground, and activists took the
matter to court.
On Thursday, the Eastern Cape high court revoked Shell’s exploration rights,
ruling that they were granted illegally."
