Answer:
Nature was created by one single creator .In this universe every single organism had its own identity, none other organism was in the situation to take place of another organism. Man has been interested in nature since time immemorial, but today he thinks himself to be the master of nature. On the other hand, nature tries to comprise with man and absorbs human onslaught in the form of waste material discharge, deforestation, intensive agriculture, desertification, urbanization etc. In the name of progress, forests are demanded, lakes poisoned with pesticide and air fouled with noxious gases.
Our earliest ancestors lived in a rich and competitive world closely tied to environment. They knew the sources of water and use of plants and animals for food and indicial purposes. But the hunters and gatherers exploited the environment to fulfill their requirements, by cutting down trees resulting into great changes in grass and shrubs with the use of fire. However, they could not cause excessive damage to environment due to their low population, nomadic way of life and primitive technology. The domestication of plants and animals gave impetus to agricultural technology. Human population started increasing beyond the limits previously fixed by natural food supply.
The development in machinery, fertilizers, pesticides and high yielding varieties caused unprecedented increase in agricultural productivity. Overgrazing, widespread destruction of forests and intensive agricultural practices demanded the land and converted productive regions to barren areas. It is thus, quite amazing to recall the change from hunter gathered economy to that of agriculture and industry that marked by the changed natural habitat. The shifting role of man in the environment placed heavy demand on air, water and natural resources.
As man was trying to gain control over environment, the link between him and nature got weakened. It therefore became necessary to regulate human behavior and social transactions with new laws, designed to suit the changing conditions and values. In order to manage and face the myriad challenges of ever changing environment, the environmental laws emerged. But these laws are of no if not implemented or accepted by the society properly. Though government of India introduced plethora of legislations in the field of environmental law which directly or indirectly deals in environmental issues. Though there is bulk of legislations but this didn't had any impact on the condition of environment rather it deteriorated day by day. Therefore one would always think though there is plethora of legislations but why there is improvement in the condition of environment? As these laws had some inherent defects in it and lacked proper implementation.
