At the core of the natural beauty and cultural harmony settled in Braj lies the sense of well-being, environmental sustenance and conservation. This research paper has tried to explore the diverse dimensions of environmental protection prevalent in Krishna-Leelas and Braj culture as mentioned in the soor-literature. This sense of protection is found in the tendency of animal husbandry, and somewhere in the rural culture, the importance of forests and trees is reflected. Very clear representation of the dimensions of biodiversity, forest conservation, plantation, water conservation, environmental ethics etc is found in the Braj culture. The research paper has sought to present the merits of establishing full identity from its environment for protection of environment by Braj culture. There are ideological discussions on various forums around the world. But today there is a need for self-churning - through which, inspired by its ancient Indian culture, a human being should adopt a simple lifestyle and play an instrumental role in nurturing the environment as an integral part of the entire environment. Through this research paper, this dimension of environmental protection is being highlighted with the help of literature.
