#FuelingEcocide, our latest investigation coordinated by EIF in partnership with European Investigative Collaborations (EIC), reveals that oil and gas licences overlap with 7,000 protected areas worldwide. A total overlap of 690,000 km², an area bigger than the size of France – despite existing regulations and ongoing efforts to safeguard key biodiversity zones.
