Análise das penas previstas na lei 9.605/98 à pessoa jurídica por crime ambiental: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The Environment has been suffering constant attacks, which attracted the attention of experts worldwide who discovered that if nations did not take measures to stop the damage, natural resources could be depleted in the future. It was found through several studies that the biggest cause of environmental damage were legal entities that, due to their productive activity, were polluting rivers and air, rampant deforestation, among many other acts harmful to the Environment (Ferreira, 2021). According to Silva and Ferreira (2018), industrial and agricultural activity are responsible for a large part of river and air pollution, in addition to excessive deforestation, which compromises entire ecosystems and accelerates climate change. It was based on these observations that several authorities proposed, in pro-Environment meetings, actions and projects to try to protect and, if possible, recover natural resources. So the Brazilian legislator imposed legal measures present both in the Constitution and in infra-constitutional laws in order to protect the Environment. And so the objective of this research is to analyze the legal provisions that protect the environment, with regard to its degradation, with the legal entity as responsible, and for the preparation of this work bibliographical research was carried out both in articles of law and in doctrines produced by specialists in environmental law, in addition to documentary research based on legislation on the subject. It is understood from this work that it is important to aim to protect the ecological system against the commission of environmental crimes committed by legal entities.
