Abstract

The living environment is a unity of space with objects and living creatures that can influence the continuity of life between humans and the surrounding environment. In order to enjoy a clean and pleasant environment, it is everyone's duty to preserve the environment. However, the reality on the ground shows that there has been environmental damage, especially forest damage, where forests are the habitat where living things live. Excessive utilization, which results in negative impacts on exploitative forest management, can cause many problems, including very worrying forest damage. One example is illegal logging activities and excessive exploitation of natural resources. This is done because it is influenced by economic factors that underlie humans carrying out illegal logging of forests and over-exploiting natural resources. As a result of intensive exploitation of protected forest areas and sectoral management, this has resulted in deforestation and environmental degradation in protected forest areas. The impact caused by the exploitation of protected forest areas has damaged the balance of the environment, for this reason the Indonesian Government must take concrete action by taking action against perpetrators of logging in protected forest areas so that it can have a deterrent effect on the perpetrators. This article discusses regulations for preventing exploitation of protected forest areas in Indonesia and the suitability of the Ecocracy concept in regulating law enforcement. This research is anormative juridical research using descriptive analytical methods, namely describing and analyzing the legal issues being discussed, namely regarding the regulation of preventing exploitation of protected forest areas in Indonesia and the suitability of the Ecocracy concept in regulating law enforcement. The research results state that regulations for preventing exploitation of protected forest areas in Indonesia have been regulated by the issuance of Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, Law Number 18 of 2004 concerning Plantations and Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. This law includes provisions regarding the prevention of exploitation of protected forest areas, while the regulation of law enforcement regarding the exploitation of protected forest areas is based on the concept of Ecocracy, namely by providing strict sanctions on perpetrators of forest logging violations as a form of upholding nature protection by providing protection and management of the environment.
