$IMAGO Nature: Unsere Erde, Umweltverträgliche Herausforderungen, Fracking Anti-fracking slogan No to fracking spraypainted on a mountain road in the Cantabrian mountains near the city of Santander. Opposition to fracking is strong in the countryside in Cantabria. Many locals make a living from dairy farming and small-scale agriculture and are worried about possible water and soil contamination through leakage of fracking chemicals. So far the regional government of Cantabria has sided with the anti-fracking movement and banned fracking projects from its territory, even though the central government does not prohibit hydraulic fracturing at national level.
