This episode of The Green Interview features Pablo Fajardo and Steven Donziger, two lawyers whose relentless pursuit of one of the world's biggest corporations has made "Chevron-Toxico" a landmark case in environmental law. The story is set in Lago Agrio in eastern Ecuador, the epicenter of one of the biggest ecological crimes of all time: Texaco's massive contamination of two million hectares of the Amazon rain forest. Fajardo and Donziger's team won, but Chevron skipped the country. So they are asking the courts of Argentina, Brazil and Canada to enforce the Ecuadorian judgment. The Canadian courts have said they'll hear the case, but Chevron is appealing.
