How can you satisfy environmental groups whilst digging an oil field?

if they complain about endagered species within that perimeter...





thanksHow can you satisfy environmental groups whilst digging an oil field?
You put together an Environmental Plan that examines all the environmental issues and impacts. It will detail what mitigation and rectification/restoration measures you will put in place and then discuss it with the local authorities and the NGO's (Non Governmental Organisations)


They will then decide whether you have selected the best commercially possible environmental options.


The issues can become very complicated. However, if you are genuinely interested go to: http://www.ipieca.org/ for some more detailed information.How can you satisfy environmental groups whilst digging an oil field?
You have to protect the endangered species. It isn't just environmentalists, it is the law.





I am sure that you are a fine upstanding citizen who would never purposefully, or through negligence, cause an adverse impact on life, human health or the environment, but there are people throughout history who have acted in just the opposite way, and thus the need for laws and regulations.





protection doesn't necessarily require cessation of activity, in many if not most cases, you just have to conduct that activity with certain reasonable constraints on your operations..
No you cannot. Because despite your best efforts you will always be destroying land to get at the oil, and that will destroy habitat. If you build a reserve they will always claim it is not big enough.
