Abstract
The presented text in the scope of three main parts and six subchapters, within which the author of the article tries to capture the relationship between Czech hunting legislation and environmental protection. The core is the question of whether the Hunting Act (Act No. 449/2001 Sb.) represents a functional tool for nature and landscape protection or not.
Consideration is given to what changes might be needed to make this law and other relevant norms related to this act such an instrument. Several scientific methods were used in the research and preparation of the article, primarily the historical and linguistic-legal method of research in the passage dealing with the concept of hunting itself.
This part is followed by a critical description, classification, analysis and interpretation in the section devoted to the core of the issue, ending with a demonstrative comparison with the foreign legislation of the US state of Florida and a de lege ferenda consideration in the conclusion. Furthermore, the text elaborates interesting cases of judicial and administrative practice and, last but not least, it takes into account the relevant legal norms and appropriate literature or professional texts.
