A massive oil spill in Ecuador's Amazon region damaged around 21,000 square meters of the Cayambe-Coca national park and caused problems for the indigenous communities living along the river. The firm OCP said it had "collected and reinjected 5,300 barrels of crude into the system" since the accident on Friday when heavy rains caused a boulder to fall on the pipeline in a mountainous region.
