{wiki=Sacrifice_zone}
A "sacrifice zone" refers to a geographic area that is deemed expendable or is sacrificed for the benefit of economic growth, industrial development, or resource extraction, often at the expense of the local environment and communities. These zones are typically characterized by high levels of pollution, environmental degradation, and health risks for residents who often have little power to fight against the detrimental impacts of industrial activities.
