环保局 is the catch-all term for the local-level environmental agency. At the national level, the agency was upgraded in 2018 to 生态环境 (Ministry of Ecology and Environment). 环保 is the everyday short form of 环境保护 'environmental protection' — also used in compounds like 环保袋 'eco-bag' or 环保意识 'environmental awareness'.
