Oil and gas operations have proven to be compatible with wildlife. Development occurs only after government and industry (with community input) agree on how best to safeguard wildlife and the environment. Companies have set aside land for wildlife, adjusted certain operations to avoid mating seasons, and moved equipment and wells to accommodate wildlife.
