Environmental law

From LawGuru Wiki

Environmental law is a body of law, which is a system of complex and interlocking statutes, common law, treaties, conventions, regulations and policies which seeks to protect the natural environment which may be affected, impacted or endangered by human activities. Some environmental laws regulate the quantity and nature of impacts of human activities: for example, setting allowable levels of pollution. Other environmental laws are preventive in nature and seek to assess the possible impacts before the human activities can occur. This area of law is sometimes known as environmental impact assessment. Environmental law is practiced in the public interest, by groups and individuals seeking environmental protections for general public benefit, but it is mostly practiced in the private interest, by groups and individuals that undertake polluting or environmentally destructive activities, and who seek to avoid violating environmental laws in the process.
