MJ Weismantel R. Colloredo-Mansfeld Kintto Lucas International Environmental Groups Birdlife International email birdlife@birdlife.org.uk (formerly the International Council for Bird Preservation) is headquartered in Cambridge, UK and has regional offices in Ecuador, Belgium and Indonesia. It is a global alliance of local conservation organizations in 88 countries dedicated to the preservation of birds and their habitats. One of the functions of Birdlife is to compile information about local areas to determine which should be Important Bird Areas or IBAs and to educate the public of the significance of these areas. The head of the Americas Division of Birdlife International in Quito is soft-spoken Canadian, Ian Davidson. He has been working since the initiation of the OCP project to divert the pipeline from the northern route through Mindo to the south around Quito. Mindo is the first IBA established in South America because it is a part of the Choco Forest, the world's most biodiverse region, and is home to a number of endangered and critically endangered species. Mindo deserves its reputation as a centre for ecotourism and birdwatching. Tourists from around the world come here with the hopes of catching glimpses of such rare Andean birds as the Black-breasted Puffleg Hummingbird. This species has a global population of less than 250 individuals and is found only in scrub along the crests of hills slated for demolition by the pipeline. Fires during the initial stages of construction have already damaged some of the bird's habitats. To quote Davidson, "Birdlife's concerns about damage to the fragile area have not been addressed by OCP and there are strong fears that an oil leak would result in pollution and the contamination of the watershed feeding the small community of Mindo. The steep volcanic ridges along which the pipeline is to be built are less than three metres wide in places and it is not clear how OCP will weave the pipeline through this tortuous terrain without considerably altering the terrain and contributing to a significant degradation of the area and the species that depend on it."

Sampson covers oil history from the Standard Oil Trust to OPEC’s muscle flexing in the early 1970s. He focuses on the 7 sisters or oil giants, Exxon, Gulf, Texaco, Mobil, Socal, BP and Shell and the formation of the oil cartel amongst them.
