Abstract [eng] This thesis examines how the international and EU biodiversity Law can be transformed from paper rules into real outcomes. It analyses the global, EU legal frameworks and reviews species-protection derogations of hunting, management of the protected areas, and the relationship between Article 6 of the Habitats Directive and EIA/SEA procedures, and the legal position of the Nature Restoration Law. The thesis proposes an Assessment → Action permit provisions, monitoring-trigger package, and a finance-accountability matrix, an evidence-chain checklist to provide fewer annulments and verifiable steps towards site-specific conservation objectives, based on the criteria of CJEU.
