 exploration and development has increased recently and is likely to keep growing in the following years.
This
 phenomenon causes the area of the

 industry to keep expanding into undiscovered areas to have more resources.

 on our environment – especially on our wildland and communities. The

 is that air pollution produced by industrial facilities has a role as the “invisible killer” to people living nearby these sites. It can lead to respiratory, cardiovascular and other diseases. The

 is dangerous emissions fuelling climate change. And the

 is human movement and vehicle traffic from drilling operations can disrupt wildlife habitat. In reality, of course, the expansion of

 drilling areas cannot be preventable because of the huge benefits that can be obtained by the government and investors.
