Supreme Court Orders Corporate Eco-Responsibility
The Supreme Court of India recently said that big companies must take care of nature and animals as part of their social responsibilities.
They must not harm natural habitats and should fix any damage they cause.
The court also said that everyone, including the government, must protect the environment.
Unfortunately, the government has been approving projects that harm nature, like 32 defence projects in important ecological areas.
The court wants the government to stop doing this and prioritize protecting the environment.
