As a major player in the energy transition, TotalEnergies puts sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its projects and operations to contribute to the well-being of people. The Company has pledged to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including those related to the conservation of biodiversity. Aware of the challenges related to environmental management and the use of the planet’s natural resources, TotalEnergies strives to manage the environmental effects of all its projects and operations according to the Mitigation Hierarchy principle of avoidance, minimisation, restoration and offsetting. On the occasion of the preparation of the United Nations Plan for Biodiversity, TotalEnergies reasserts its commitments to protect biodiversity.
The Tilenga Biodiversity Program is designed to address the impacts associated with the project, in line with the “Avoid, Reduce, Compensate” hierarchy, i.e. to avoid and reduce impacts as a matter of priority.
We implement specific and concrete actions on site to manage the impacts of all our operations on biodiversity. We strive to protect biodiversity wherever we operate and throughout the life cycle of our facilities.
TotalEnergies seeks to ultimately generate a net gain in biodiversity, in other words, improve biodiversity in the region with respect to its state at the start of the project, particularly, the Murchison Falls National Park.
Our GOAL is to leave the Murchison Falls Protected Area and the surrounding landscape in better condition than if the project had not taken place.
Our main objective in the Murchison Falls National Park is to reduce human pressures on the Murchison Falls Protected Area. Our operations affect only 0.03% of the park's surface area.
