Standing Rock, a once little known reservation on the border of North and South Dakota, became the focal point of national controversy this year when thousands of activists joined Native Americans to protest the environmental impacts of the Dakota Access oil pipeline. If completed, activists argue, the pipeline would impact sites sacred to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, cut through environmentally sensitive areas, and, if it were to leak, contaminate drinking water downstream in the Missouri River.

Standing Rock isn’t the only place where our country’s appetite for cheap energy is being openly opposed. While protesters have been evicted and construction resumes on Dakota Access, the fight rages on across the country where demonstrators are fighting similar pipeline projects.��Protests have erupted in Texas, Florida, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Ohio, among other states, where more than a dozen proposed oil and natural gas projects look to expand the country’s roughly 2.5 million-mile pipeline infrastructure.

In an effort to shed light on some of these projects, and the possible environmental consequences attached to each, we mapped out nine other noteworthy projects currently under protest. Below, we’ve detailed each one and what may be at risk if they are to be built.

Trans-Pecos Pipeline (Natural Gas)

Nexus Gas Transmission (Natural Gas) 

Location: Ohio, Michigan, Ontario
