From Bonnie Hamre, About.com GuideJune 23, 2009

Follow me on:

An Irishman's Diary(IrishTimes.com):" BILLY Clarke McIntire (72) lives alone in a small wooden house in Misahuali on the banks of the Napo River in Ecuador."

From here, she's witnessed the oil exploration. "The booming oil industry was operating with virtually no environmental or public health controls" to the sad detriment of Indian nations living in the area.

Keep informed of the situaion with this background information as the cases come to court in Ecuador.
