Over the past decade or so, more and more attention is being paid all over the world to man's environment on which human existence depends and the maintenance of which is now increasingly being considered as essential for mankind.
By environment is meant those natural things that surround us the essentials to sustain human life, such as the earth's atmosphere, healthy air and drinkable water, together with the non-essentials that help to make life sustainable, such as wild animals or wild places or human living space.
With the passage of time, mankind is realizing that preserving the essential ingredients of life and the rich natural diversity of the planet is indeed worthwhile. Thus, protecting and saving the environment involves keeping Nature's gifts to mankind as much as possible, and in as good a condition as practicable.
Pollution, especially in the industrialized belt, and the ecological crisis are not wholly new or novel, though ecology is a comparatively new science. The idea behind it, preservation of natural resources is, however, almost as old as man.
Now the realization has dawned on humanity that we have been destroying valuable resources and that there must indeed be a limit to our plans and ambitions for development, expansion and growth. Murder of the environment, which involves senseless poisoning of the earth, air and water, and destruction of forest wealth, may be described as "ecocide".
Our rivers, including the Ganga and the Yamuna, are polluted; the Himalayan ecology is seriously endangered in many ways. The consequences of such continuous and reckless use of trees and other natural resources would be disastrous. There are also the dangers from chemical pollution from radioactive wastes, and other wastes from homes, factories, hospitals and laboratories, and from other foreign matter that keeps entering the atmosphere. It is feared by experts that if the energy of the sun is hindered, if the natural processes of purification and elimination are reversed, and if the reckless destruction and pollution continue, mankind may return to the dreaded ice age.
Therefore, preservation and restoration of Nature's balance is vital and efforts are being made for that purpose, at both national and international levels.
The first systematic and international effort in this direction was made in 1972 through the UN Conference on Environment, held in Stockholm. The world's ecological mess was discussed there for several days. But by that year barely 10 nations had formulated environment protection programs; now the number is above 100.
A significant development was the charge brought by the Third World that the advanced countries (the U.S.A. and certain other countries of the West) were using the pollution problem and its dangers as an excuse for going slow in industrializing the backward and developing regions.
Some of the stark facts that are deepening the ecological crisis are: about 12,000 new chemicals are being introduced into the world annually; some deserts have been spreading and encroaching at the rate of 30 kilometers every year; some oceans are reported to be dying and the earth's protective ozone layer is being broken up by aerosols and supersonic aero planes.
Air, water and land are, after all, finite resources and can be largely used up. The economists, therefore, warn that these must be viewed as capital, not as sources of additional income.
Following the dawning of the realities and greater knowledge of the disaster looming ahead, there is better awareness of the need for environmental education, which millions of educated people have begun to regard as a matter of life and death. The developed and advanced countries may even be said to be "exporting" their pollution problems to the Third World by decentralizing their production processes and establishing factories in other parts of the world.
Such factories are being welcomed by the poorer countries because of the employment they provide. Further proof of the growing international recognition of the importance of ecology has been provided by the adoption by the United Nations, in October, 1982, of a world Charter for nature, aimed at preserving all species existing on earth. The Charter says mankind is dependent on natural systems for energy and nutrients, and civilization is rooted in nature. "Every form of life is unique, warrants respect, regardless of its worth to man." The Charter adds that "population levels of all life forms, wild and domesticated, must be at least sufficient for their survival, and to this end necessary habitats must be maintained.
