Popis: The scientific article emphasizes that the world’s biological diversity is constantly declining. As a result, both the international and national levels adopt regulatory legal acts aimed at preserving such diversity. Moreover, special attention is paid to the protection of biological diversity with the help of criminal law. Thus, the regulation of the above social relations implies a special specificity, because their protection cannot be carried out with the help of other branches of law, and an encroachment on them poses a public danger. It is emphasized that the domestic legislator is searching for optimal mechanisms for protecting the environment from criminal encroachments, as evidenced by the changes made to Ch. 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that the criminal law protection of ecology developed gradually in domestic law.
