Environmentalists fear it will lead to mining and drilling projects in other fragile ecosystems in the Arctic, which has become the latest frontier in the quest for rapidly depleting mineral and fossil fuel reserves.

The government is increasingly resorting to desalinated water, which has been produced using excess heat from electricity generation. This has caused impact on the marine environment from discharging highly concentrated seawater to the Arabian Gulf, etc.

Environmental concern arises from the impact of extraction and processing of these minerals during mining and smelting etc.

Fires set for land-clearing and pastureland spread into adjacent wildlands, causing damage to the island's unique ecosystems.
