Thanks for pointing out the seriousness of the situation. I would like to offer a few possible solutions. In Ecuador where I live, there may be over 100 small oil spills a month that go unreported at any particular site. The government needs to be sued for abrogation of their ordinances and their contractual agreement with the oil companies (https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/w-028-6002?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true#co_anchor_a790014). That might be one remedy, if we could get the funding for lawyers.
Another would be to hire the indigenous to be at the site to report all pollution events to the 3 administrative bodies who are charged with monitoring pollution. There may be a need for making sure that the indigenous are not corrupted by the oil companies.

A third more gradiose strategy would be to restructure the government from vertical to horizontal, this would effectively block corruption by any "economic hitmen" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oilxI6Dgoy8) and put the power back into the hands of the people, sans politicians (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8).
