Abstract

<p><em>This study aims to analyze forest fires in Indonesia in terms of anthropocentric environmental ethics perspectives. The method used is the method of observation, and the primary data can be by interviewing the people who live in the location of forest fires in Riau province, and the perpetrators of illegal logging, and companies that use the forest. While the secondary data obtained from statistical data, and from the Riau provincial government, and then the data is analyzed descriptively. In the perspective of the environmental ethics of anthropocentrism, the forest is an invaluable resource (biodiversity as a source of germplasm, timber and non-timber forest products, the water regulator, flood prevention and erosion and soil fertility) whose utilization and protection should be regulated accordingly with relevant and applicable laws and government regulations. Events of forest fires are one form of human action that is contrary to the principles of environmental ethics, resulting in large casualties and losses. In fact, in anthropocentrism more emphasis on the human interest that has led to human behaviour that tends to damage nature.</em><em></em></p>

Summary

Introduction

One of the great potential and natural wealth of land and natural resources in Indonesia is a forest. The forest fire incident is one of the more frequent disruptions in Indonesia, especially on the island of Sumatra. The negative impacts of large fires include ecological damage, declining biodiversity, declining economic value of forests and soil productivity, global and global climate change, and the smoke disrupts public health and disrupts the transport of land, river, lake, sea and air. Fires have been a feature of forests in Indonesia for thousands of years, the initial fires must have been smaller and more widespread in terms of frequency and timing than the past two decades. These early fires were not a significant cause of deforestation. This article aims to find a solution based on an analysis of events related to forest fires in Indonesia ( on the island of Sumatra and the island of Borneo) with an analysis from an environmental ethic point of view based on anthropocentrism perfective, which will provide recommendations in the form of recommendations in the handling, handling and management of forest fires in Indonesia in the future
