Oxy drilling in U'wa land:
The U'wa people in Columbia
have spent the last eight years
working to halt Occidental's
oil drilling project, which
they believe will have
devastating social and
environmental repercussions
for their people and their land.
In Nov. 2000, Oxy began test
drillling. Activists are now
targeting companies with shares
in Oxy. This year, Fidelity sold
60% of its holding in Oxy due to
activist pressure. Investment
firm Sanford C. Bernstein is up
next.
