Synopsis Environment is today the concern of everyone. With the depletion of resources on the one hand, and extensive pollution of land, air and water on the other, the very existence of mankind on this planet is threatened. Global warming and the change in the pattern and timings of seasons have already begun wreaking havoc. The time has come to lay down an international policy to protect the environment, minimize pollution and also enact legislation that can be implemented successfully to save the planet earth. This book covers the entire issues of environment—from defining the concepts, reviewing existing organisations and their work and analysing the present legislation to laying down guidelines and a framework that would enable environmental policy planners to come up with effective laws and legislation and also administrative measures. It will surely be of interest to everyone who shares the growing concern of environmentalists, conservationists, activists and those working in botany, zoology and the environmental sciences.
