Abstract

 
 
 In this article, the author will discuss the application of criminal/administrative sanctions for Environmental Law Enforcement against Forest Damage, using a normative juridical approach. In 2015, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry recorded at least 95 hotspots of the source of haze in Sumatra and 61 hotspots in Kalimantan. The spread of haze caused by forest and land fires that occurred covered the areas of South Sumatra, Jambi, Riau, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and South Kalimantan. At least 22.6 million people were affected in Sumatra and 3 million people in Kalimantan were victims of the forest and land fires. The source of the fire is still not well understood, but the fire spots are spread and not influenced by differences in land types (Steenis and Fogarty 2001). This indicates that forest fires occur at the same level. This is the basis for the author to discuss the effectiveness of law enforcement for forest destroyers.
