Crimes Against Protected Habitats

Crimes Against Protected Habitats refer to illegal activities that harm areas designated for environmental protection, such as national parks, wildlife reserves, and marine sanctuaries. These crimes can include activities like illegal logging, pollution, poaching, and unauthorized development. The intent behind protecting these habitats is to conserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystems. When these areas are damaged, it can lead to loss of species, disruption of natural processes, and long-term environmental degradation. Laws exist to enforce protection and penalize those who engage in harmful activities within these important ecosystems.
