Our Mission

FracTracker Rack Card
PDF: Front - Back

The FracTracker Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the public’s understanding of the impacts of the global oil and gas industry by collecting, interpreting, and sharing data and visualizations through our website, FracTracker.org. We partner with citizens, organizations and institutions – allied in a quest for objective, helpful information – to perpetuate awareness and support actions that protect public health, the environment, and socioeconomic well-being.

To that end, we:

Believe that data, science, and public participation should and can influence public policy
and decision-making
Encourage, seek, and accept data from a variety of sources
Acknowledge the variable quality of data and provide explanatory “metadata” to
foster transparency
Offer our own analyses, articles, and maps to help promulgate knowledge
Provide outreach and training to news media, community leaders, students, conservationists,
public health professionals, concerned citizens, and others to encourage use of the website
