In 2001/2, I was in the city of Coca, Sucumbios Province, Ecuador, visiting the Amazon Jungle and staying at a Jungle resort nearby. While the beauty left a lifelong impact on me, so did the level of environmental destruction. I saw severe deforestation. And that was 24 years ago.

That trip is a key reason why I've been a life long environmentalist and activist. That will never change. If more people saw that destruction first hand, I think we would have more change. I previously said Nueva Loja, but the city was actually Coca. A bit more south.
