It leads to the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife. It is now a global issue and it is discussed and debated over decades. Actually environmental degradation does not restricted to the national or state boundary which is causing immense degradation. Its consequences are well felt in the surrounding states or neighboring countries or sometimes globally. For example, if India is doing much air pollution through massive thermal power plant and other sources, it affects our neighboring countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc. Acid rain, climate change are some transcontinental issues. Deforestation in Brazil have caused disturbance in rainfall pattern throughout South America. Land degradation and dam burst like conditions in India affect Bangladesh as it brings massive siltation and flood consequences. Today, environmental protection is a major issue which is taken seriously by almost all countries. Environmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental and international levels, for the benefit of both the natural environment and humans.                                                                                                                                               (5)
