Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.

I think since I was already in Ecuador,

Quito, Ecuador, is a little south of the equator.

Peru and Ecuador, and no trend across the years.

This is one day's waste from one banana plantation in Ecuador.

Ecuador is a country situated in the northwest part of South America.

A group in Ecuador started out with a garbage can filled with yard waste.

In 2005, a new species of bat was discovered in the cloud forests of Ecuador.

Did Chile avoid the problem of antibiotic resistance, whereas did Ecuador actually have the beginnings of the problem?

And did it evolve to be more harmful in a place like Ecuador, which has some of the least well protected?

And in Ecuador remember, this is the place where it has the highest potential waterborne transmission it looked like it got more harmful.

Or, one of the most fascinating tribes I ever lived with, the Waorani of northeastern Ecuador, an astonishing people first contacted peacefully in 1958.

Parsnips that are too small for supermarket specifications, tomatoes in Tenerife, oranges in Florida, bananas in Ecuador, where I visited last year, all being discarded.

But if we look at the end of the 1990s, just half a decade later, we see that in Ecuador they started having a resistance problem.

In Peru and in Ecuador there are lesbian teenagers who are committed into clinics where they are raped because their parents don't know what else to do with them.

So there he is with his little laptop computer, but fighting against the might of the pressures because of the debt, the foreign debt of Ecuador fighting the pressure of World Bank, IMF, and of course the people who want to exploit the forests and take out the oil.

I came directly here from the deep, deep tropical rainforest in Ecuador, where I was out you could only get there by a plane with indigenous people with paint on their faces and parrot feathers on their headdresses, where these people are fighting to try and keep the oil companies, and keep the roads, out of their forests.

And what was so amazing to me, and what fits right in with what we're all talking about here at TED, is that there, right in the middle of this rainforest, was some solar panels the first in that part of Ecuador and that was mainly to bring water up by pump so that the women wouldn't have to go down.
