Explanation:

In 2014, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) began compiling data on environment-related offences. How does the NCRB define an environment-related offence?

It includes violations under only five laws:

Forest Act, 1927
Wildlife Protection Act, 1972
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and
Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (as amended in 1988)
Rajasthan alone accounts for half of all environmental crimes committed in India in 2014. Most of the offences relate to just two Acts, the Forest Act and the Wildlife Protection Act, with the bulk recorded under the former.
