The environment is one of the most precious resources that is available
to any country and its people. For rapidly developing countries like
India, there are a range of environmental problems such as pollution,
deforestation, disappearance of wildlife and sea life. Environmental
laws are thus needed to protect and preserve the environment from
destruction.
In this book, we first present an introduction to issues related to
ecology and environment. We then summarize the main laws that are
available to protect the environment. These laws cover different aspects
of the environment such as wildlife, pollution control, forest cover and
waste management. Taken together, these laws present a comprehensive
system to protect and preserve the biodiversity and environmental
resources connected with the air, water and soil of India.
It is hoped that this book would provide a good introductory guidance to
people who are interested in environmental issues and who wish to be
familiar with the laws in India related to the environment.
