Ekonomická analýza dopadů státní regulace na ochranu ohrožených druhů zvířat

The thesis focuses on causes of ever-declining state of endangered species of animals even though they are protected internationaly by wide law-system. This bachelor thesis targets in the theoretical part primarily the economic approaches to environmental protection and their subsequent analysis. Among the current schools of thought include environmental economics, ecological economics and free market environmentalism as a defense of private property in terms of environmental protection. The positive and negative impacts of these schools and approaches are defined and the recommendations for practical situations are found. The aim of the thesis is to answer the question including reasoning what is more efficient solution from economic point of view: governmental private rights and enforceability support or better arguing that private ownership is the main reason of the problem of endangered species and therefore more extensive administrative intervention is required. The practical part mainly uncovers the imperfect functioning of the protection system demonstrated on specific cases.
