A atuação do Batalhão de Polícia Ambiental de Alagoas na fiscalização das infrações ambientais: uma avaliação com base na opinião de seus integrantes

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The issue of environmental preservation and conservation in Brazil, although much discussed in the literature, is still a difficult problem to resolve, both in the field of environmental public policies and Environmental Law. Therefore, this study seeks to present the effectiveness of the Alagoas Environmental Police Battalion's actions in applying Articles 217 to 221 of the Constitution of the State of Alagoas. The methodology adopted to implement this proposal begins with bibliographic studies through reading books, articles, magazines and consulting periodicals on internet sites. The next step of the research was to carry out fieldwork of a qualitative nature, involving the Alagoas Environmental Police Battalion. It is believed that, through environmental education, citizens can be built capable of knowing how to preserve and care for the environment, in order to keep it protected from devastation and aggression in its forest areas, natural riches and the extinction of fauna and flora. However, environmental public policies analyze the government's major actions, actions that are the government's prerogative that seek to discover alternatives to face conflicts related to public issues. It is in this field that the work of environmental policing falls.
