Environmental Law is a framework of regulations designed to protect natural resources, public health, and biodiversity. It governs pollution control, wildlife conservation, waste management, and sustainable development to create a balanced ecosystem. Key principles like the "polluter pays" and "precautionary" principles guide its enforcement, ensuring that industries and individuals bear responsibility for their environmental impact. Environmental laws encourage the preservation of forests, protection of endangered species, and regulation of hazardous waste, supporting both ecological balance and economic growth. As a dynamic field, it adapts to global challenges like climate change, promoting a sustainable future for generations to come.
