The Oilwell Basin is home to a prolific oil-producing region, but with it comes significant environmental concerns. The "great ape" refers to the complex network of wells and infrastructure that can have devastating effects on local ecosystems. To combat this, a multi-faceted approach is needed. This includes increased regulation and enforcement of existing laws, as well as investment in alternative energy sources. Additionally, implementing sustainable practices and rehabilitation efforts for affected areas could help mitigate the damage. A comprehensive plan that prioritizes environmental protection and responsible resource management is crucial to finding a solution.
