Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) Clearance
Projects located in proximity to protected areas such as national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves require Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) clearance to ensure minimal environmental impact and strict regulatory compliance.
At Korde Environment Engineering LLP, we provide comprehensive ESZ clearance services, helping businesses navigate complex environmental regulations while safeguarding biodiversity.
What is ESZ Clearance?
Eco-Sensitive Zones are buffer areas surrounding protected regions, designated by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC). Any industrial, infrastructure, or construction activity within or near these zones must undergo thorough environmental scrutiny and obtain approvals before execution.
