Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability is the
development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs. While many
individuals and communities have
long recognized the damage that can
be caused to our environment and
that of the plants and animals we
share our planet with, it is only
relatively recently this has been
acknowledged globally.
Environmental Laws

Some laws that are related to

environmental & wildlife protection are :-
• The Environment (Protection) Act,
1986
• The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980
• The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972
• Water (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Act, 1974
• Air (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Act, 1981
• The Indian Forest Act, 1927.
What Are The People Doing?

To practice environmental sustainability

people are trying to:-
• Save energy
• Eat less meat
• Reuse, reduce and recycle
• Use reusable alternatives
• Use renewable energy
• Save water
• Not wasting food
• Try using eco-friendly products
Bishnoi Tribes
In 1485, the Bishnoi tradition was born in the hands of
Guru Jambeshwar, a Rajput chieftain of Marwar, in
western Rajasthan. He formulated 29 commandments,
which a Bishnoi is expected to follow until death. Of
these, six are extraordinary – they cover environmental
protection and compassion for all living creatures. The
Bishnoi are commanded to provide shelter for
abandoned animals and prohibited to cut down trees;
they follow a system of sharing resources with the
wildlife around them. More recently, the Bishnoi have
led a movement against a nuclear power plant in
Haryana. The site is a critical natural habitat for
blackbucks and the Bishnoi have been demanding an
adequate conservation plan for wildlife.
Biomass &
Ecosystems
Pyramid structures reflect
state of an ecosystem. We see
balances and misbalances. By
construction, a Pyramid we
understand bases of huge
food chains and connections
between trophic levels. Having
data only is not enough,
graphical representation is
always better.
World Environment Day
World Environment Day is
celebrated annually on 5
June and is the United
Nations' principal vehicle
for encouraging
awareness and action for
the protection of the
environment. The theme
for World Environment
Day 2021 is 'Ecosystem
Restoration’.
Sow a thought, reap an action;
Sow an action, reap a habit;
Sow a habit, reap a character;
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
- Samuel Smiles
