Detailed explanation-1: -SC bans mining within 1-km radius of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Supreme Court Mandates Minimum 1 KM ESZ For Protected Forests; Bans Permanent Structures There; No Mining In Wildlife Sanctuaries & National Parks.
Detailed explanation-3: -Recently, the Supreme Court directed that every protected forest, national park and wildlife sanctuary across the country should have a mandatory eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) of a minimum one km starting from their demarcated boundaries.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Wildlife Conservation Strategy of 2002 recommends a buffer of 10 km around sanctuaries. ESZ are formed to serve as “shock absorber” for protected areas. The basic aim here is to regulate certain activities around national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to minimise negative impact on the fragile ecosystem around.
