INTRODUCTION

It is a set of laws in India for the preservation of the environment that controls how people interact with their surroundings. The goal of environmental legislation is to safeguard the environment and provide guidelines for the use of natural resources. In addition to ensuring that the environment is safeguarded from harm, environmental legislation in India also serves as a reminder of who has the right to use natural resources and under what conditions. Conservation of Forests and Wildlife Act, 1972 and Environment (Protection) Act of 1986 are three key environmental laws.

Ecological preservation is a vital component of sustainable growth. Development is impossible without sufficient preservation of the environment. Sustaining growth can only be achieved with the help of aggressive environmental measures. Furthermore, the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986 includes sustainable development as one of its goals. The Act's objectives and purposes may only be achieved by sustainable development, which is outlined in Article 21 of the Act.
