Goa’s natural beauty faces serious threats from environmental crimes such as illegal sand mining, deforestation, and wildlife trafficking. The Goa Police have taken significant steps to address these crimes by creating specialized environmental units. These units monitor protected areas, conduct raids, and collaborate with the Forest Department and other agencies to enforce environmental laws.
Public awareness programs are also being conducted to educate the community on the importance of protecting Goa’s biodiversity and natural resources. The police’s efforts are helping to preserve the state’s natural environment while ensuring that violators are held accountable.
