Abstract The environment refers to all living and non-living components that surround and influence life, including air, water, land, plants, animals, and the overall ecological system. Its creation is beyond the means of mankind. Environment is the foundation of human existence. It existed before the evolution of humans but with the development of society and technology, it is under escalating stress and degradation. Therefore, it is accurate to calculate that human interference is a threat to environment. Our environment is our inheritance from our ancestors and from the very fact that diverse cultures, societies were developing at their own pace with minimal ecological threats, it demonstrates the wisdom of the ancients. Their experience is a lesson for us. It also signifies that we have inherited our planet’s resources from past generations, thus we are also obligated to preserve and conserve it for passing them on in a sustainable condition. However, rapid development, industrialization, urbanization, population growth and wars have put immense pressure on the natural resources. This has led to ecological degradation, threatening both present and future life on Earth. These matters concern not only the human race but all other living and non-living creatures on the planet and being the only intelligent species, it is our duty to ensure sustainable development of natural resources. To address this crisis at the bigger platform international societies like UN has adopted various initiatives, while at the national level in nations like India appropriate remedial actions have been taken through constitutional and statutory schemes. This article is an endeavour to highlight the significance of environmental protection and the laws enacted therefore.
Keywords environment, natural resources, sustainable, ecological degradation, preserve, conserve.
