Abstract:
This research broaches the environmental stewardship in the face of misconduct
Administrative Law, considering the inertia of the state and its agents, before the process of
rampant environmental degradation. It is known that natural resources are precious assets,
covered by the Federal Constitution, which considers them vital to man. Access to an
ecologically balanced environment is a right of present and also future generations, an
essential requirement for quality of life and well being of all. Environmental issues, in our
times, has encouraged great discussion, whether on the part of jurists, scholars and of
governmental and non governmental organizations, beyond ordinary citizen. The way that the
environment has been devastated by the unbridled pursuit of wealth by man, has been of great
concern. The administrative acts of authorization, licensing and monitoring, alert the Attorney
General to vigorously take action, doing justice to its role as supervisory and informer Body,
in order to protect the environment from harmful actions. The State as holder of the largest
wasteful of natural heritage of Brazil, uses inconsistent arguments assiduously that in theory
gives priority to the public interest, however, one realizes that they are excuses that obscure
behaviors harmful to the environment, with the advantage of inertia or if not the convenience
of the public administrator, thus characterizing acts of administrative impropriety in
environmental stewardship. In this occasion, it is worth mentioning Law No. 8.429/92. whose
goal is to punish conduct detrimental to the taxpayers of the act of misconduct and present
situations that provide public awareness about environmental issues and the offense to the
principles of public administration.
