New investigation reveals vast global overlap between drilling permits and cherished sites crucial for nature

In brief

  • Governments have allowed oil and gas companies to operate in more than 7,000 “protected” areas around the world

  • Protected sites are recognised by international agreements but left at risk by weak enforcement

  • Total global area encroached on is bigger than the size of France and includes sites that are vital buffers against climate change
