Abstract

Violations in natural resource management often occur and result in significant negative impacts on the environment, threaten the sustainability of ecosystems, and cause social and economic losses. By focusing on the Indonesian legal framework, this study aims to determine the extent of the effectiveness of the application of criminal sanctions against natural resource managers who commit environmental violations and the effectiveness of criminal law in dealing with environmental damage caused by poor management of natural resources. This research uses a normative juridical method, which focuses on the analysis of relevant legal regulations and doctrines. The findings show that, despite the various legal provisions governing criminal sanctions, their application is often inconsistent and ineffective. Several factors include weak supervision, low public awareness, limited resources for law enforcement. This study recommends the need for improvements in the law enforcement system, capacity building for law enforcement agencies, and strengthening community participation in monitoring natural resource management to encourage greater accountability for environmental protection

Abstract

Abstract: : Land clearing that leads to forest fires constitutes a serious threat with far-reaching impacts on the environment, public health, and the national economy. Forest fires contribute to biodiversity loss, air pollution, climate change, and significant social and economic losses, particularly for communities living near affected areas. This research examines the regulatory framework and the implementation of law enforcement in Indonesia concerning perpetrators of land clearing activities that result in forest fires. It also analyzes the role of the government in preventing and controlling forest fires, as well as the obstacles encountered in the enforcement process. The study employs a case approach combined with a normative juridical method, relying on the analysis of relevant laws, regulations, court decisions, and legal literature. The results of the study indicate that perpetrators of land clearing causing forest fires may be subject to legal sanctions, including criminal penalties such as imprisonment and fines, as well as administrative and civil liability. Furthermore, the government plays a crucial role in forest fire prevention and suppression through policy formulation, supervision, and coordination among institutions. However, law enforcement faces several obstacles, including weak supervision, limited resources, difficulties in evidence collection, and lack of compliance by corporations and local actors.

Abstract

In general, developing countries have more problems with construction than developed countries. Development has serious environmental problems in developing countries. Development that is not environmentally friendly can damage ecosystems and threaten the existence of natural resources. The importance of paying attention to environmental impacts in every development policy. Risk reduction and environmental protection need to be discussed in planning and this research is carried out by reviewing literature articles, journals and other related publications. Literature Review Method Collect and analyze in advance information from researchers, inequality of access to environmental resources. This information is analyzed to determine the effect of environmental policies on development in developing countries, a factor causing development in developing countries. The environment has a very important function for human life. The environment is needed by man for his survival and provides a variety of needs. It is important to develop balanced environmental policies that support economic growth while reducing the impact of development on environment. Environmental policy has a significant influence on development in developing countries, and needs to be considered in developing policies that can better support sustainable development in developing countries that are sustainable and environmentally friendly to protect the quality of the environment.

Abstract

Management and protection of natural resources (SDA) in Indonesia face major challenges, especially related to environmental degradation due to unsustainable exploitation. Legal policy plays an important role as a basis for regulating the use of SDA, environmental protection, and law enforcement against violations. Although Indonesia has various laws and regulations governing the management of SDA, such as the Forestry Law, Mineral and Coal, and environmental protection, their implementation is still hampered by weak supervision, coordination between institutions, and conflicts of interest between economic development and environmental conservation. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis through literature studies, interviews, and field observations to identify the role of legal policy in the management of SDA and the factors that influence the sustainability of ecosystems in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that effective legal policy must be able to balance economic interests and environmental conservation with clear regulations, strict supervision, and synergy between related institutions. Thus, legal policy can be a strategic instrument in realizing sustainable management of SDA and optimal environmental protection in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores forest protection from the perspective of natural resource law, focusing on the challenges and solutions related to mining activities in Indonesia. Forest areas in Indonesia are under severe threat due to the expansion of extractive industries, particularly mining, which often operates within or adjacent to forest zones. The study identifies three major areas of concern: legal conflicts and institutional overlap in forest governance, weak enforcement of environmental laws and accountability mechanisms, and the marginalization of local communities in decision-making processes. The research reveals that inconsistencies between forestry, environmental, and mining regulations contribute significantly to forest degradation. Furthermore, the lack of coordination among government institutions, insufficient environmental monitoring, and the failure to uphold indigenous and community rights exacerbate the problem. Through a legal and socio-environmental lens, the study proposes integrated governance reforms, strengthened law enforcement, and increased community participation as essential solutions to ensure sustainable forest management. These findings underscore the importance of aligning legal frameworks with environmental justice and sustainable development principles to safeguard Indonesia’s forest ecosystems from the adverse impacts of mining.

Abstract

Harapan Forest is a global priority area for forest habitat representing 20 percent of the remaining lowland forests in Sumatra. Most of the area in Harapan Forest is a high-value secondary natural forest that is being restored. There are many rare fauna and flora riches that are difficult to find elsewhere , such as various species of hornbills. Forest exploitation is an increasingly pressing issue in Indonesia, where this activity not only impacts the environment, but also has significant implications for the economy of society and the country. In an economic context, forest exploitation often results in large financial losses for local governments due to the loss of potential revenue from taxes and royalties as well as negative impacts on the livelihoods of communities that depend on forest resources. Forest exploitation is often seen as a solution to encourage economic growth, especially in developing countries. It can be concluded that forest exploitation is the arbitrary use and exploitation of forest resources and products, whether in the form of land, water, flora and fauna, etc., without considering aspects of sustainability in the future.

Abstract

Landscape ecology principles play an important role in sustainable natural resource management, especially in the context of forest area management. This approach focuses on understanding the spatial relationships between ecosystem elements and the importance of ecological connectivity to maintain ecological functions and biodiversity. Literature studies have shown that the application of landscape ecology can help design more effective forest management, taking into account factors such as habitat fragmentation, climate change, and pressures from human activities. Several studies have identified the importance of landscape mapping and ecosystem modeling to manage conservation areas with a science-based approach. The implementation of these principles also includes ecosystem restoration, water management, and reduction of damage from deforestation, which can increase environmental carrying capacity. However, major challenges remain, especially related to policies, community participation, and awareness of the importance of landscape ecology-based management.

Abstract

This article analyzes the new policy on the management of foreign exchange earnings from the export of natural resources (SDA) as regulated under Government Regulation Number 8 of 2025, which will be implemented starting in 2025. The policy mandates exporters to place 100% of their export foreign exchange proceeds within the national financial system for a minimum period of 12 months. The primary objectives of this regulation are to strengthen Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves, maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, and reduce dependence on foreign debt. The policy applies to several strategic sectors, including mining (excluding oil and gas), plantations, forestry, and fisheries. Its implementation is expected to generate positive impacts, particularly in increasing foreign exchange reserves and fostering a more stable and conducive investment climate. However, the policy also presents challenges, especially in relation to liquidity management and cash flow constraints for exporters, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. To support compliance, the government offers various incentives, such as competitive interest rates, tax incentives, and access to financing facilities based on export foreign exchange funds. Additionally, the reporting and supervisory mechanisms involving relevant authorities will be strengthened to ensure transparency and effectiveness. This article discusses the policy’s mechanisms, implications, and challenges, and provides recommendations to support effective implementation and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
