This introductory text presents an overview of environmental protection and management strategies to curb air, water, land and noise pollution. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organisation controlled or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the environment and humans. Due to the pressures of over consumption, population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Preserving the natural resources of our planet is a mainstay of the Environmental Policy.
