Petroleum in the Ecuadorian Amazon

"Historically, such development north of the Napo River has led to widespread oil spills and surface dumping of formation water, and the opening of access roads has been followed by waves of settlers, deforestation, expansion of the agricultural frontier, acculturation of indigenous groups, timber harvest and the marketing of bushmeat, resulting in near complete destruction of 
that region." --> "Day of reckoning for Ecuador's biodiversity" - Nature News
