A battle is raging in Chiapas' Montes Azules Integral Biosphere, 
Mexico's Garden of Eden. The last stand against corporate resource 
exploitation is taking place in this remote, lush tropical jungle, home 
to Mayan communities. Best known for ancient pyramids and endangered 
species like the toucan and jaguar, this modern day "El Dorado" is now 
threatened by the search for black and green gold: oil and biodiversity.
