*[Enwl-eng] Another oil pipeline ruptured. This time in the Amazon rainforest.

[ENWL]

                        Barrels and barrels of oil spilled out into the Ecuadorian rainforest.

                        During a recent pipeline rupture in Ecuador, an untold number of barrels spilled out, polluting multiple acres of a protected Amazonian rainforest area. All we do know so far is that countless wildlife species, as well as the Indigenous communities of Ecuador, are paying the horrible daily costs. After a few days, oil is already reaching the Coca River, one of the Ecuadorian Amazon's largest. This means the water is undrinkable and unusable. Fish are inedible. Meanwhile, the precious animals of the rainforest are also suffering as their environment is rendered inhabitable and full of poisons.



                        It all started when a pipeline owned by the private company OCP Ecuador became damaged during a mudslide late last month. While this might seem like a freak accident, it's far from the first time such a thing has happened to OCP's pipelines — yet the company has clearly not taken sufficient action to ensure their pipelines are safe and fully protected from such events. Yet again, their equipment has broken, resulting in horror for animals and humans alike. Both OCP and the Ecuadorian government owe it to the Indigenous communities and animals to come up with a plan to provide food and water to those who rely on the Coca River, and to implement a comprehensive cleanup plan to contain and remove the deadly pollution. Sign the petition to stand with Indigenous communities and wildlife in the Ecuadorian Amazon and demand accountability after this oil spill!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Before effective cleanup operations and repatriation to Indigenous communities can even begin, it's imperative for people to know the scale of the problem — but so far, even that information has been kept under wraps. Sign the petition.
