Sign to Push an end to fracking wildlife parks in Ohio

Oil drilling has had many consequences before in other places, contaminated water, health problems, threats to wildlife. In southeastern chunk of Ohio, Oil drilling has been opened in wildlife areas. The drilling will be using a technique where it starts around the outside of the park and go horizontally underground. This may pose risks to aquatic species, including the endangered hellbender salamanders. There has also been fake pro-fracking comments made and using about 150 people's names without their permission.

Multiple conservation groups worked together to create the Egypt Valley Wildlife Area, whole article: https://www.aol.com/margaret-keen-gave-ohio-unspoiled-093423862.html Public lands are protected for reasons, and are not for fracking. Public lands are to be protected for habitat restoration, and carbon sequestration, (from link link above). Oil drilling releases massive amounts of carbon pollution. Looking at Ohio on google maps, over half of this state has been occupied by farms and towns and cities, less than half is forested or wild, and all the protected land in the south now is threatened with exploitation for oil, and for no good.

We urgently need you to sign this petition and get this state into a correction course before it nosedives anymore. Whether your across the country or across the pond, put down your name to sign this petition.
