Abstract

Illegal logging is a significant environmental problem, especially in developing countries with large tropical forest areas. This activity not only causes forest degradation, but also has an impact on the loss of biodiversity, climate change, and socio-economic conflicts in local communities. This study aims to analyze the causal factors, impacts, and mitigation efforts of illegal logging. The results show that the main factors that trigger illegal logging include weak law enforcement, high demand for illegal wood, and economic pressure at the local level. The impacts include ecosystem damage, increased carbon emissions, and decreased quality of life for indigenous and local communities. To overcome this problem, effective strategies include increasing supervision, empowering local communities, implementing strict policies, and cooperation between countries in controlling the illegal wood trade. This study recommends a holistic approach involving various stakeholders to protect forests sustainably. The Sumatran Elephant Foundation has a very important role in overcoming this problem. As a conservation institution, Yagasu not only monitors and documents illegal logging activities, but is also active in conducting education and advocacy activities to the community about the importance of protecting mangrove forests and how to properly process mangrove products.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining coastal ecological balance, protecting biodiversity, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, increasing environmental degradation and land-use changes have led to severe mangrove deforestation in Indonesia. This paper critically analyzes the implementation of Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management in relation to mangrove restoration efforts. By adopting a juridical-normative approach combined with a socio-legal perspective, the study explores the extent to which legal frameworks have been effectively translated into actionable restoration programs. The analysis highlights both the strengths and gaps in the current regulatory system, including the lack of law enforcement, weak institutional coordination, and limited community participation. It is found that while the law provides a strong foundation for environmental responsibility, its practical implementation remains inconsistent and fragmented. Strengthening policy integration, enhancing local governance, and promoting collaborative restoration initiatives are key to ensuring that mangrove rehabilitation aligns with Indonesia’s legal obligations. This study contributes to the discourse on environmental governance by emphasizing the need for legal reforms and policy coherence in achieving sustainable coastal ecosystem restoration.
