Shell is the third largest oil company in the world.
It is also the new sponsor of the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife
Photographer of the Year exhibition.

As part of the campaign/exhibition project ‘Art Not Oil’, we are working
to persuade the Natural History Museum and its visitors that Shell should
not sponsor the Wildlife Photographer exhibition. The campaign will
include our own ‘Shell’s Wild Lie’ travelling photography exhibition,
accompanying speakers from Shell-affected communities in the Niger Delta,
South Africa and County Mayo (Ireland).
