environmental legislation
Nature protection rules
Environmental legislation refers to laws and regulations designed to protect the natural world—controlling pollution, preserving ecosystems, managing resources, and limiting harmful practices.
The Clean Air Act remains landmark environmental legislation.
Such laws may govern emissions, waste disposal, land use, or species protection.
Enforcement typically falls to government agencies with authority to impose penalties for violations.
