For instance, the Insecticide Act of 1968 governs the production, use, distribution, and sales of insecticide within India.

On the contrary, increase in trend for urban green spaces and parks is predicted to offer new opportunity in the forecast period. The population of most countries is increasing at an exponential rate, which, in turn, has led to rapid urbanization to meet the human needs. The growing urban population has led to environmental degradation such as increased pollution, poor air quality, and water contamination. To mitigate these effects, governments of various countries have launched several schemes to build green spaces and parks based on environmental guidelines. For instance, as per the guidelines of Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), each urban local body (ULB) should have at least one green space or park based on the environmental guidelines set by the Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI).
