Greenpeace Reports Fecal Contamination at 17 Yucatán Water Sites
Greenpeace reports that all 17 water sites tested near Mérida, Mexico, showed fecal contamination, with pig-specific testing detecting pig waste; municipal sewage and septic leaks may also be contributing. Because groundwater is the Yucatán’s main freshwater source, the group is calling for a halt to new industrial pig farms and expansions, while the study’s findings do not establish the source of all contamination.

About Greenpeace International
Greenpeace is a global campaigning network, founded in Canada in 1971 by a group of environmental activists. Greenpeace states its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity", and focuses its campaigning on worldwide issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, anti-war, and anti-nuclear issues. It uses direct action, advocacy, research, and ecotage to achieve its goals. The network comprises 26 independent national/regional organisations in over 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific, as well as a coordinating body, Greenpeace International, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
