According to the report "Amazon Crude" by Judith Kimerling, from 1972 until it left Ecuador in 1992, Texaco intentionally dumped more than 19 billion gallons of toxic waste into the region and was responsible for 16.8 million gallons of crude oil spilling from the main pipeline into the forest. In 1998, Texaco conducted a limited cleanup through an agreement with the Ecuadorian government, but its effectiveness is being challenged.

When Chevron merged with Texaco in 2001, the new company became accountable for Texaco's liabilities.

Chevron must restore the health and environment of the communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon and ensure that this disgraceful chapter in the company's history never repeats itself. **Send a message to Chevron's Board of Directors and demand that the company take responsibility for its actions.**
