Every aspect of our world as well as human life has been affected by the global outbreak of Corona Virus Disease in late 2019 (COVID - 19). The environment has been greatly impacted by the countless measures adopted to control the spread of the virus and slowing down of world economy. Hence, this study aims at exploring the pros and cons of this disease on the environment with the help of various scientific data that is available. The study reveals that however adverse the pandemic may seem; it does have many positive impacts on the environment as well. The pressure on the environment in the form of varied pollution has reduced significantly and the ecosystem has got the much-needed time to restore itself. Still the negative aspects, the disease is casting on the environment cannot be ignored. The study also intends at suggesting certain strategies to minimize the negative and maximise the positive so that the global environmental sustainability may be ensured.
