民事权利的法律保护主要通过民事责任来实现,而且民事责任在很大程度上又表现为损害赔偿的责任,而损害赔偿归根到底是对权利侵害所造成的妨害的排除及损失的补偿。刑法在保护环境方面应有的功能受到严重制约,难以发挥应有的作用,因此,我们应从广度上和深度上加大刑事责任在环境侵害方面的适用。 The legal protection of civil rights is mainly realized through civil liability, and the civil liability is to a great extent manifested as the responsibility of damages. And the damage compensation is the elimination of the damage caused by the right infringement and the compensation of the loss. The function of criminal law in protecting the environment is severely restricted and it is difficult to play its due role. Therefore, we should increase the application of criminal responsibility to the extent of environmental damage in terms of breadth and depth.
