Environmental Law And Policy Objectives

The Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 was introduced to protect wildlife, forests, and biodiversity in India. It laid the foundation for national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and conservation efforts.

The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was enacted in 1974 to regulate water pollution, and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was enacted in 1981 to control air pollution. These acts established Pollution Control Boards to enforce environmental standards.
