Abstract

The rise of big data technologies has dramatically enhanced our ability to address key environmental challenges, including climate change and biodiversity preservation. These tools enable real-time monitoring and predictive modelling, improving ecological governance. However, they also bring legal and ethical issues such as data ownership, privacy, consent, and equitable benefit distribution.

This study examines how big data can support environmental sustainability and explores the associated legal and ethical ramifications. It identifies regulatory gaps at both the national and international levels and evaluates the risks and benefits of big data in conservation.
