Environment protection is basically the practice of preserving the environment by human beings, organizations and other governmental bodies. Its goals are to preserve the present natural environment and prevent further degradation and damage, and, as possible, to rectify damage already done. It can also be used to protect a man’s health and well being from various environmental threats. One of these is the effect of pollution on human health, which has led to the rise in cases of cancer and other diseases.
There are various groups that are working towards achieving environmental protection. Among them are the government, civil society, environmental organizations, business, labor and local communities. The government plays a major role in this area by controlling and introducing legislation that would give effect to the protection policy. However, civil society and the media are also playing an important role by reporting the environmental issues and organizing awareness campaigns to protect the environment.
The concept of environmental protection dates back to the nineteenth century. At that time, the concept was briefly called Pure Land Management. Under this concept, land owners were supposed to use land for agricultural purposes only, and not for any other purpose. This idea has now been incorporated into various pieces of legislation. Some of these pieces of legislation are the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Solid Waste Disposal Act.
The primary aim of environmental protection is to ensure good quality of the environment for future generations. It aims at preserving the natural habitat and preventing pollution from damaging it. Through this, we can also prevent global warming. Various methods are adopted in this process. One of them is through regulation and another one is through controlling industrial processes and using less polluting means.
With the above discussed objectives of environmental policy, we can certainly say that it has a broad range of benefits. For instance, if people adopt best practice management in certain areas, they will be able to save both their economic and their natural environments. Best practices mean those methods which can make use of eco-friendly solutions and those which do not damage the environment in any way. Another way of looking at this policy is to adopt a perspective that it is a human rights and a social responsibility to protect the environment. Environment protection includes the full range of policies like controlling pollution and degradation of ecosystems, using non-polluting resources, promoting energy efficiency and protecting water quality.
Environmental harm can be caused by many different agents. The main agents are chemicals, aerosols, radioactive materials, pesticides, lead, pesticides, noise, harmful wastes and hazardous waste. Therefore, the scope of environmental protection encompasses all these. This is why the environment protection act focuses on developing a comprehensive strategy for the control, prevention and protection of all the different types of environmental harm.
