-The Environment Impact Assessment System was formally established in 1978 with the
enactment of Presidential Decree no. 1586 to facilitate the attainment and maintenance of
rational and orderly balance between socio-economic development and environmental
protection. EIA is a planning and management tool that will help government, decision makers,
the proponents and the affected community address the negative consequences or risks on the
environment. The process assures implementation of environment-friendly projects.
 MY POINT OF VIEW
Land, air, water, and soil are all protected under environmental legislation. These
statutes carry a variety of penalties, including fines, community service, and in
certain severe circumstances, jail time. The government would not be able to
prosecute anyone who harm the environment without these environmental
laws.Today's environmental laws cover a wide range of topics, including
biodiversity, hazardous wastes, and the quality of the air and water. These
environmental laws are intended to stop, lessen, correct, and punish behaviors
that endanger or harm the environment and the people who live there.
