Hummingbird halts construction of controversial oil pipeline Kate Ng © Provided by The Independent A huge multibillion-dollar oil pipeline expansion project in Canada has been halted by a tiny hummingbird for four months. Trans Mountain Corp, which is carrying out construction of a US$12.6 billion project that will nearly triple capacity of the pipeline, was ordered to halt work on a section to protect the hummingbird’s nests. The order came after an Anna’s hummingbird nest was found in a tree felled during the construction. Although the bird is not endangered, it is protected under federal law. Environment and Climate Change Canada said in a statement: “Cutting vegetation and trees or carrying out other disruptive activities such as bulldozing or using chainsaws and heavy machinery in the vicinity of active nests will likely result in disturbance or destruction of those nests.”
