Permit for exceptions to prohibitions introduced to protect species of plants, animals and fungi

Abstract

Prohibitions of taking certain actions against individuals of protected species established to protect the species are at the heart of this protection, guaranteeing its real dimension and meaning. However, these prohibitions are absolute in nature. The legislator allows for exceptions to prohibitions, introduced at the level of a generally applicable law, which create a system of legal protection of certain species of plants, animals and fungi. The basic mechanism of these exceptions is the permit, which is an individual administrative act issued at the request of the concerned entity. The permit repeals, in relation to a recipient specified by name, a generally applicable prohibition of certain activities and in this respect is an exception to the general rules.
