Environmental crimes are aggressions committed to the environment and are defined as unlawful acts, and against them environmental sanctions must be applied, in order to guarantee to future generations the ecologically balanced environment. For this, strategies understood as actions implied in the conservation and balance of biodiversity are necessary, evaluating the effectiveness of the applied resources, aiming at the reach of the preservation of the environment. In this sense, the science of law tries to follow social evolution, establishing limits, legal norms, and seeking to balance the social order, in order to guarantee to future generations an ecologically balanced environment.
