7 oil spills. Never reported, a fraction of what internal records reveal. In 2016–2017, 89% of environmental incidents were hidden from official reports. Oil spreads. Silence doesn't erase contamination. Mar 12: Andrés Olarte receives the Ellsberg Whistleblower Award. 👉 tinyurl.com/wu784f6a

A graphic shows a map of Colombia marked with colored pins indicating oil facilities, alongside text stating that seven oil spills were never reported to authorities and alleging that Ecopetrol hid many more, citing the “Iguana Papers” as evidence. The background features a photo of oil-contaminated water, with a legend listing facility names and the website ellsberg-award.org displayed at the bottom.
