Environmental degradation is the most important cause of the disease. The wetlands, forests, savannahs, estuaries, coastal fisheries and other habitats that recycle air, water and nutrients for all living creatures are being irretrievably damaged. The oceanic world is under threat. The enhanced pace of development activity, rapid urbanization, high degree of mechanization and steep rise in energy consumption have resulted in stress on natural resources and quality of life, thereby directly or indirectly affecting the sustainability of the environment. India too, in this context, is not an isolated case. In order to preserve the pristine environment, a great number of laws have been enacted by the Indian Government. The ignorance of these laws is in no way excusable in jurisprudence. With a view to acquaint the readers with the increasing environmental degradation and its dire consequences as well as make aware of their legal duties and rights in the related arena, the present two Volumes on Environmental Legislation in India have been prepared. These include important laws enacted to curb all sorts of pollution? Environment, Air, Water and Noise. In addition, they provide the laws of forest conservation, wildlife protection, biological diversity, coastal regulation and many more. The present two Volumes would be very useful for students and researchers of the environment. These are the main reasons for this process.
