Summary/Abstract: Due to the occurrence of the second genotype of African Swine Fever (ASF) virus in Europe, the situation today causes a threat to the species through the use of sanitary shooting of wild boars in the areas of disease occurrence, and as a consequence their depopulation. The purpose of the study is to assess EU and Polish legal regulations relating to the protection, preservation of diversity and management of wild game populations and combating of infectious animal diseases, which are subject to the obligation to combat. The researchers’ question in this paper concerns the mutual relations of these legal regulations and legal instruments for the valuable protection of the biosphere in hunting in connection with the occurrence of the disease. The subject of careful analysis was the search for manifestations of the implementation of the legal protection of wild game as a nationwide good, particularly relating to one category of wild game – wild boars, in a situation of epizootic danger.
