Authors : Derrar Nassima . Derrar Abdelhadi .

Abstract

The protection of environmental balance is surrounded by all aspects. The environmental legislator has established the protection of each element of the ecosystem, including water, air, and soil by allocating a separate chapter of section three of Law No. 03-10 on the protection of the environment in the context of sustainable development to the requirements of biodiversity protection. He devoted chapter two to the requirements of air and atmosphere protection and chapter three to the requirements of water and aquatic environments, deviating from the elements of crime and focusing on formal crimes. The legislator provided penalties for all elements of the environment in the sixth section entitled “Penal provisions.
