ABSTRACT
Currently, there are many environmental challenges for human beings to consider: population, food security, loss of species and ecosystems, energy, climate change, carrying capacity, land use, etc. How humans handle the challenges and provide a better world for the next generation is a burning issue. The main concern of environmental law is to govern the relationship of humans with their natural surroundings. In the past, humans viewed nature and its resources as available for unlimited exploitation. Little thought was given to the future or for the harms being done.
