What are some examples of environmental safeguards?

Environmental safeguards include regulations and practices designed to protect ecosystems and public health. Examples include establishing protected areas, implementing emission controls for pollutants, and enforcing sustainable resource management practices. Additionally, environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are conducted to evaluate potential effects of proposed projects on the environment before they are approved. Lastly, promoting renewable energy sources helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change impacts.
