Abstract: The 1988 Federal Constitution established the ecologically balanced environment as a collective right. At this threshold, the Public Prosecutor's Office, as an independent and autonomous body entrusted with the defense of social interests, as is the case with the environment, which affects the community in a broad and irreversible way, should strive to act based on the hermeneutics of constitutional norms relating to environmental protection. In view of this, we investigated the legal relevance of the Public Prosecutor's Office in the process of interpreting constitutional rules relating to the environment. To this end, we carried out a bibliographical study with a qualitative approach and exploratory method, based on a survey of data from books, doctrines, the CNJ's information base and academic works. It was concluded that, in view of the data on environmental crimes in Brazil, the proper constitutional interpretation of environmental protection by the Public Prosecutor's Office tends to provide ideal accountability for offenders and mitigate the vulnerability of Brazilian biomes.
