1. ‘Captain Planet, he’s the hero!’ Save
the planet, or the Tiger, or both!
• We all love our holidays, especially when we
get to visit ‘exotic’ locales. We visit national
parks and forests. How many times have you
thought about the threat these areas face? If
you have ever given it a thought, then
consider taking up cases to protect the
environment.
2. There is a branch of law that deals with
environment related cases. There are firms
that choose to challenge industries that set
up harmful plants in forests. There are also
firms that help these industries get
clearances, so the factories can be set up.
You take your pick.
3. We talked to Rahul who works with an
organisation called ‘LIFE’ – Legal Initiatives For
Forest and Environment. Rahul loves his job
because it helps him stay connected with the
communities they work with. He visits different
sites to protect them from industrial harm and
that gives him a sense of satisfaction.
4. Foran environment lawyer it is important to
gain the trust of rural/ tribal communities .
That happens when you fight the case
sincerely. You not only gain their trust but
you also start getting more cases to work
on.
