Abstract

In my article, presented at the 18th International Wildlife Law Conference in Tilburg, the Netherlands, in 2018, I focus on both theoretical and practical issues related to the protection of mega-species of mammals and birds in the law of Central European countries. The problem is topical; many of those species were either killed off or their populations were significantly decreased, if not decimated, in the past. Only in the past few years have they started to gradually move back to Central European nature from other regions, particularly from the north and east of Europe. This shows that the protection of mega-species of mammals and birds cannot be narrowed to a policy of deterrence contained in legal regulations; what also matters is economic motivation (compensation for damage caused by those species), as well as education and raising public awareness. All of this is, however, a quite difficult, demanding, and long process. What can serve as a model example is certainly the wolf and its return to the Central European wilderness.

中欧国家法律对魅力型巨型动物的保护
在2018年在荷兰蒂尔堡举行的第18届国际野生动物法会议上,我发表了一篇文章,重点讨论了中欧国家法律中与保护大型哺乳动物和鸟类物种有关的理论和实践问题。这个问题是局部的;在过去,这些物种中的许多要么被杀死,要么它们的数量显著减少,如果不是大量减少的话。只是在过去的几年里,它们才开始从其他地区,特别是欧洲北部和东部,逐渐回到中欧的自然环境中。这表明,对大型哺乳动物和鸟类物种的保护不能局限于法律规定中包含的威慑政策;同样重要的是经济动机(对这些物种造成的损害进行赔偿),以及教育和提高公众意识。然而,所有这一切都是一个相当困难、苛刻和漫长的过程。可以作为典型例子的当然是狼及其重返中欧荒野。

期刊介绍: Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
