| Popis: | The concept of Environment is not new, it has been derived from ancient Vedas and Upanishads, and classical Greek works. Emperor Ashoka had planted trees to provide oxygen to the pedestrians. That means the Govt. of the third century BC had tried to protect Environment to provide oxygen to the living creatures on the earth. Delhi Sultan Firoz tughluk had grown orchards and gardens to reduce the impact of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Mughals tried to provide protected drinking water to their citizen with amalgamation of different species of grass with the water. The early East India Company tried to protect Environment by growing large trees. After the independence, the Govt. of India made plan to protect Environment but all the efforts are in vain. After the Stockholm Convention serious efforts have been made by Governments across the world to protect Environment. MC Mehatha an Environmentalist filed several PILS to protect animals in the Zoo and river water from pollution. For the first time, Rajeev Gandhi Govt. had initiated the Ganga Action plan to protect the river Ganga from pollution. The efforts of MC Mehatha are successful with the passing of Acts such as the Water Act, Air Act, and Environment Protection Act. This explanation tried to highlight different laws pertaining to the national and international arena to protect the environment by which human beings can safeguard the Earth Globe. The original intention of this paper is to understand environmental pollution, its impact, and the role of the laws and Governments in the protection of the environment in India.
