AMAZON WATCH - Canada’s Gran Tierra: Didn’t You Know Oil Doesn’t Mix with Water?

AMAZON WATCH - Canada’s Gran Tierra: Didn’t You Know Oil Doesn’t Mix with Water?: Peru's northern jungle province of Loreto has been source to most of the country's oil extraction. Of this, the lion's share originated in blocks 1AB and 8. Occidental Petroleum pumped from the early 1970's on, polluting the streams, forests, and people. Since 2000, Pluspetrol assumed these operations, only starting to re-inject poisonous 'formation waters' in 2007 following crippling indigenous protests. Their aging pipeline infrastructure continues to spring dozens of spills annually. In recent months, local indigenous communities have forced the Peruvian government to declare large swaths of the rainforest as 'environmental emergency zones'.
