Ecuador Plaintiffs Tell Chevron: "Enough is Enough!"
In a small non-descript room above a shopping center in the oil boom town of Lago Agrio, Ecuador, a three-panel appellate court handed down the decision that some 30,000 rainforest residents have been waiting 18 years for: A final verdict condemning Chevron for what is perhaps the world's worst environmental disaster on record.
The ruling upholds the first February 14th ruling in its entirety, finding Chevron guilty of massive contamination in a rainforest area the size of Rhode Island in Ecuador's northern Amazon. The communities are seeking a total clean up of the area, clean drinking water, and funds for health care.
Representatives of the affected peoples traveled to the nation's capital to share the victory with the world.
