Eco-crime refers to illegal activities that harm the environment, such as illegal dumping of waste, poaching of endangered species, and deforestation. These actions violate laws designed to protect natural resources and ecosystems, leading to significant ecological damage and loss of biodiversity. Governments and organizations worldwide are working to combat eco-crime through stricter regulations and enforcement. Efforts include monitoring activities related to wildlife trafficking, pollution control, and sustainable resource management to ensure that the environment is preserved for future generations.
