Pulitzer Center's Kelly Hearn is in Ecuador covering what has been dubbed Ecuador's Rainforest Chernobyl and it could turn out to be one of the biggest legal environmental battles ever fought. A powerful movement of indigenous peoples accuses Chevron subsidiary Texaco of dumping billions of gallons of waste into the jungle over a period of twenty years. If Chevron loses, this landmark case could raise the cost of doing business for corporations that extract resources from remote regions.

In the last twenty years we've know about the problem in the Amazonian. Now it is too late to try to help our people, fauna & flora. Texaco does not have any choice this time. Texaco is going too lost and pays for it.

ECUADOR esta cansado de los extranjeros que abusan y destruyen nuestro país.
