In areas where shale-drilling/hydraulic fracturing is heavy, a dense web of roads, pipelines and well pads turn continuous forests and grasslands into fragmented islands.

Thanks for sharing this image with creative commons - I plan to use it to help illustrate a post on the advantage oil companies have in their spread of fracking because they can use impenetrable legal-ese that keeps landowners and those who hold mineral rights from fully understanding what will be happening to and on their land. The photo, cropped to fit, will appear on the homepage "carousel" of featured articles on the open access social science website TheSocietyPages.org with credit on hover-over on Thursday of this week. It will remain in the rotation for up to six days.
With appreciation,
