Résumé This Law defines the rates of compensation for the damage caused to the wild fauna and wild flora as a result of environmental offenses and the procedure for its calculation and collection. The provisions of this Law do not apply to species of flora grown in plots owned by citizens or provided with the right to use them, or in pastures or grasslands provided for use on legal grounds and not registered in the Red Book of Plants of the Republic of Armenia. In the sense of this law, the following actions of legal entities and natural persons are considered to be environmental offenses related to the protection and use of the wild fauna and wild flora: (a) use of biological resources without licenses (permits) issued in the prescribed manner, in violation of concluded contracts and the conditions established by them; (b) unregulated use of fertilizers and other preparations, poisons, as a result of which harm is done to the animal world; (c) the destruction of rare, endangered and Red Book animals, their eggs, habitats (nesting sites, spawning grounds) and (or) performing such actions that lead to the reduction of the number of these animals and the deterioration of their habitats; (d) violations of hunting and fishing rules established by legislation; and (e) other violations of the legislation on the use and protection of wild fauna and wild flora, as a result of which harm is done thereto. The legal relations of compensation for the damage caused to wild fauna and wild flora as a result of environmental offenses are regulated by this Law and the Civil Code of the Republic of Armenia. The amount of compensation for the damage caused to the wild fauna and wild flora as a result of environmental offenses is calculated by the environmental state inspectors, as an integral appendix of the protocol, within the framework of the protocol on the violation of the environmental legislation, in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation. The amount of compensation for the damage caused to the fauna and flora as a result of environmental offenses is charged to the state budget on the basis of the report prepared by the environmental protection and subsoil inspection body on the offense case. After receiving the report on compensation for the damage caused to the fauna and flora as a result of environmental violations, in the event that the offender does not voluntarily pay the amount of compensation to the state budget of the Republic of Armenia within 10 days through the banking system, the payment of the amount is ensured by court order based on the claim submitted by the inspection body.
