natural resources law

Natural resources law governs the use, management, and protection of natural resources like water, minerals, forests, and land. It ensures that these resources are used responsibly, balancing economic development with environmental sustainability. The law sets rules for who can access and extract resources, how they are managed, and seeks to prevent overuse, pollution, and environmental harm. It also addresses ownership rights and responsibilities for both private and public resources, aiming to protect ecosystems and ensure fair distribution for current and future generations.
