The Pecos River in New Mexico faces a growing threat as it flows through the Permian Basin oilfield, in a state increasingly dried out by climate change. A Grist accountability report describes the landscape as 'the middle of a hellscape' and highlights the environmental toll of oil development on the river.
Why now: Climate change and oil drilling are putting a vital New Mexico river at risk, and the striking reporting has drawn attention.
