The Ecuadorean government has shut down an environmental group that opposed its plans to allow oil drilling in swaths of the Amazon rainforest. The Pachamama Foundation says police closed the group’s offices last week and presented them with a resolution saying the group was dissolved. The group was one of many protesting plans to drill in Yasuni National Park, an area renowned for its biological diversity.
