Environmental degradation is the main problem the world is facing today. Every part of life whether social, economic or human-health is affected adversely by this. Forests are being destroyed to satisfy human needs. Man is degrading the soil continuously to satisfy his greed and not thinking about the new generation’s needs. The biodiversity in forests, non-irrigated and irrigated lands, hill areas, deserts and marines ecosystems is subject to several pressures. The over utilization of vehicles, waste-burnt, factories etc. are increasing the level of CO2, Carbon mono-oxide, etc. which results in global warming. This is an alarm for the survival of human being as well as other species on the earth. In the present paper an attempt has been made to highlight the major environmental concerns and their consequences in India.
