Summary/Abstract: The subjects of this analysis are normative acts and their practical applications in the protection of wild flora and fauna, that is, international and Hungarian regulations on the protection of nature. Naturally, the laws on protecting the environment are much wider in scope than the subject matter of this article, as they include the protection of the elements that constitute the environment as well as sanctions regarding behaviours related to waste disposal. In describing the regulations that protect the environment, we have primarily focused on analysing the criminal law situation. Then, we present the regulatory solutions of the European Union and international law in detail, with an accompanying analysis of the most important international organizations. The final part of this paper is dedicated to a description of the domestic organizations charged with processing criminal offences against the environment.
