In accordance with world forecasts, not only rational use, but also environmental protection may become one of the most actively-profitable and developing businesses of the twenty-first century. The urgency of the problem of environmental safety increases. Constant protection of natural systems, their maintenance in the process of life, preservation of integrity - these are the main and fundamental environmental goals of the state. To achieve these goals, environmental safety is required. The main method for solving the task is to create a system of mandatory norms, rules, requirements for the protection of the environment, the use of natural resources, which is based on the legislative establishment of certain environmental standards and regulations, and as a result - bringing those responsible to legal responsibility for environmental offenses.
