The Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary in Chandigarh has an Ecologically Sensitive Zone (ESZ) surrounding it, according to a draft notification released by the Center. Under the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986, the central government designated ESZs, which are important and delicate areas near protected zones. Guidelines classify activities as allowed (local agriculture), regulated (tree felling), or prohibited (commercial mining). This attempts to protect biodiversity while permitting human activities that are sustainable.
