environmental enforcement

Environmental enforcement involves government actions to ensure laws and regulations are followed to protect the environment. This includes monitoring activities like pollution control, waste management, and conservation efforts. When entities violate environmental rules—such as releasing harmful pollutants or damaging protected areas—authorities investigate and can impose penalties, fines, or corrective measures. The goal is to prevent environmental harm, promote sustainable practices, and ensure that companies and individuals act responsibly to safeguard natural resources and public health.
