Environmental protectionis a practice of protecting the natural environmenton 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 environmentis being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movementshas created awareness of the various environmental issues. There is no agreement on the extent of the environmental impact of human activityand even scientific dishonestyoccurs, so protection measures are occasionally debated.
