The procedures and processes aimed at protecting the environment from the damage done by humans fall under the subject of environmental protection. With an increase in population as well as land use, ecological processes become slower and delayed, and hence preserving our ecosystem has become a necessity. The book delves into the subject of environmental protection and sustainable ecological development. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on environmental protection. It will also prove beneficial for environmentalists, ecologists, conservationists and anyone else associated with this field.
