Summary/Abstract: The protection of the natural environment is one of the spheres of our life in which society and law must reach out, unite efforts and means to preserve the most valuable material good from the encroachments of unscrupulous and malicious human actions. The law is obliged to harness all possible means in the struggle for nature conservation, to combine criminal law with administrative penal sanctions, as well as with the tried and tested and most effective means of civil law - tort liability. There must be no white space in the legal protection of the natural environment. In this respect, French law should serve as an example. The French Civil Code in 2016 introduced a new composition of tortious liability - strict liability for damage to the environment.
