Emergildo Criollo, an native Cofan, tells of when he arrived Texaco, said the company did not receive any benefit, only pollution and death. Talk about a time when the area was the ancestral territory of his nation. The Cofan did not speak Spanish, had never seen a helicopter .They suffered a real invasion, they had to flee deeper and deeper into the forest..Now there is a foundation Cofan, of which it forms part, is a finca are bought from which manage the work of the rangers.
