Drilling oil wells reduces deforestation. The oil extraction process results in the release of toxic drilling by-products into local rivers, while broken pipelines and leakage result in persistent oil spillage. In addition, the construction of roads to access remote oil sites also signifies take trees out of the way. 
Deforestation reduces the habitat for millions of species. Eighty percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.  It also affects climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover, they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor to the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles, many former forest lands can quickly become barren deserts.

Answer:The reporting of research results
Explanation:
The reporting of the results should represent the actual information that was gathered and shouldn't be made up however researchers may be tempted to make their research sounds more interesting than it would if there were to represent the facts as they are .
These may be done by giving inaccurate statistical values, rejecting negative outcome like Professor Kwan above,not reporting the true numbers, using inaccurate graphs etc.
Professor Kwan received the results that she did not expect to receive hence she makes up the data , rejecting the actual results and ommitting the actual information that she received so now she is not reporting the accurate infromation.
