Description
Local fishermen express their concern after an oil spill in the Esmeraldas River in northwestern Ecuador is threating their livelihood. "The daily source of income here is fishing," says Luis Cabezas Guerrero, who has been living from fishing for 50 years.
According to initial investigations, a landslide caused by heavy rains damaged a major oil pipeline, causing the spill, which contaminated the Esmeraldas River in the province of the same name. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
