 Coca itself is a city of about 50,000 people. It's a small city, but it's also considered the gateway to the Amazon. People from surrounding provinces flocked there in the early 2000s to serve as platform and pipeline and ship workers who were moving crude oil from Yasuni to refineries on Ecuador's coast. But that was maybe 20 years ago. When I was talking to people, they still talk about the importance of the oil industry for all of their businesses, but they also said, like, people don't come through here anymore. We needed to come back.
