Desaguadero River Oil spill
High altitude oil spills are rare because they mainly occur at sea level. But a pipeline punctured by freak weather conditions on a river crossing resulted in 29,000 barrels of oil being split into a river affecting dozens of communities, their land and livestock.Moore Asociados was called in to immediately put in place a crisis communications unit to support the incident management team, and liaise with the affected communities, clean-up team members, scientists, local and international media and environmental groups.
