Eco-sensitive Zone

An Eco-sensitive Zone is a designated area around a protected or important ecological site, such as a wildlife sanctuary or national park. Its purpose is to minimize human activities that could harm the environment, like construction, industrial work, or heavy pollution. Restrictions in these zones help preserve biodiversity, prevent habitat destruction, and promote ecological balance. By regulating development and resource use near sensitive ecosystems, Eco-sensitive Zones act as a buffer that safeguards the natural habitat while allowing for sustainable local livelihoods and eco-tourism.
