Ecuador and Oil

In 2001, AP staffer Peter Lippman visited Ecuador to report on a campaign by indigenous peoples in the Amazon to keep oil companies out of their ancestral land. He visited Ecuador at the invitation of Centro de Derechos Economicos y Sociales - CDES. CDES has supported and assisted Ecuador's indigenous people for years in their battle for a sustainable model of development.

Oil pool

In 2005, AP sent Peace Fellow Christina Fetterhoff to CDES.
