Eco-sensitive Zones

Eco-sensitive Zones (ESZs) are environmentally fragile areas designated around national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to protect biodiversity. These zones serve as a buffer to reduce human impact on wildlife habitats by regulating activities such as construction, mining, and pollution. The aim is to conserve ecology while allowing limited sustainable development. Regulations in ESZs often aim to maintain natural resources, preserve wildlife corridors, and support local communities through eco-friendly practices. Essentially, ESZs balance environmental protection with development needs, ensuring that sensitive ecosystems are preserved for future generations.
