Workers clean an oil spill on the Santa Rosa river February 26, 2009. A rupture in Ecuador's second largest oil pipeline has polluted the Santa Rosa river in the lush Amazon jungle and shut off the flow of crude to a Pacific port in the city of Esmeraldas. The OCP pipeline, which pumps around 130,000 barrels of heavy crude per day, ruptured late on Wednesday. REUTERS/Guillermo Granja (ECUADOR)
