Pranab Sen, etc., Committee:The committee knew that the eco-sensitive areas identified by it “would receive
protection under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (EPA)”. This awareness had two
major implications. First, a balance had to be struck between the protection of ecologically
sensitive areas and the needs of national development, particularly in the context of a country
like India, with low levels of income & high levels of poverty. Therefore the parameters had
to be selected and defined in such a manner that they represented only the critical elements of
ecological preservation and did not impinge unduly on the process of development and
efforts at eradication of poverty.

25. “The nuances of ecological sensitivity are such that excessive rigidity on this count
could defeat the very purpose of this exercise, which seeks to strike a balance between
preservation of our ecological endowments and the needs of development.”
The Pranab Sen etc.. has stressed the importance of “wide public consultation on the
nature and manner of regulation of economic activities in the identified areas” before
notifying the areas under the EPA, 1986. “In view of the limited knowledge base that exists at
present, it is preferable to err on the side of caution and be liberal” in notifying sensitive
areas.
