\nIn a significant judgment in June 2022, the Supreme Court of India directed that every protected forest, national park, and wildlife sanctuary across the country must have a mandatory eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) of a minimum of 1 kilometre starting from their demarcated boundaries. The ruling aimed to regulate development activities in these sensitive areas.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Supreme Court mandated a minimum 1 km eco-sensitive zone around protected areas (National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries).
\n<\/section>\n
\nEco-Sensitive Zones (ESZs) are areas declared by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) around Protected Areas. The purpose is to create a buffer zone and regulate certain activities to minimize the negative impact on the protected area. While the minimum is 1 km, the ESZ can extend up to 10 km in some cases, and its extent is determined based on specific requirements and consultation, but the Court set a floor of 1 km.
