Barrow Island, once uninhabited, is now a major crude oil source in Australia. Despite the oil industry's reputation, initiatives by Western Australian Petroleum have positively impacted the island's environment.

Strict rules prevent the introduction of non-native species, preserving the delicate ecosystem. These efforts demonstrate that even oil industries can contribute positively to environmental conservation.
