The protection of the environment is a practice of protecting the environment in individuals, organizations controlled at the governmental level, for the benefit of both the environment and human beings. Due to the pressures of excessive consumption, population and technology, the biophysical environment is degrading, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized and governments have begun to place restrictions on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, the activity of environmental movements has created awareness of various environmental problems. There is no agreement on the scope of the environmental impact of human activity and even scientific dishonesty occurs, so protection measures are occasionally discussed.
In industrialized countries, voluntary environmental agreements often provide a platform for companies to be recognized for going beyond minimum regulatory standards and thus support the development of best environmental practices. For example, in India, the Environment Improvement Trust (EIT) has been working to protect the environment and forests since 1998. A group of Green Volunteers obtains an objective from the Green India Clean India concept. CA Gajendra Kumar Jain is a Public Accountant, is the founder of Environment Improvement Trust in the city of Sojat, a small town in the state of Rajasthan in India. In developing countries, as in all of Latin America, these agreements are most commonly used to remedy significant levels of compliance with mandatory regulation. The challenges that exist with these agreements lie in the establishment of reference data, goals, monitoring and reports. Due to the difficulties inherent in evaluating effectiveness, its use is often questioned and, in fact, the entire environment can be adversely affected as a result. The main advantage of its use in developing countries is that its use helps to develop environmental management capacity.
