Natural Resources Law is a branch of law that governs the management and use of natural resources, such as water, minerals, forests, and wildlife. It aims to balance the needs of society with the protection of the environment, ensuring sustainable use and conservation of these resources for future generations. This area of law includes regulations and policies at local, state, and federal levels, often involving agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States. It addresses issues such as resource extraction, land use, and environmental protection, promoting responsible stewardship of the earth's natural assets.
