PENEGAKKAN HUKUM KEHUTANAN DALAM RANGKA ANTISIPASI DAMPAK CLIMATE CHANGE DI INDONESIA
Abstract: Indonesia’s forest
resources and watersheds are not contributing as they should to poverty
reduction, economic and social development, and environmental sustainability.
Instead, forest areas are threatened with degradation, fragmentation and
destruction. A quarter of the “state forest area” lacks tree cover. In recent
years, Indonesia has been losing up to 2 million hectares annually, mainly due
to illegal cutting and land conversion fueled by excess processing capacity and
a lack of effective management and law enforcement. Forest loss undermines
rural livelihoods, ecosystem services and Indonesia’s ability to meet poverty
alleviation goals. Poor forest governance damages the investment climate, rural
economic potential, and Indonesia’s competitiveness and international
reputation. Forest crime exacerbates problems of budget and fiscal balance, and
diverts public revenues that could be better spent on poverty reduction and evelopment
goals. As Indonesia moves from transition to stabilization and growth, there is
a tremendous opportunity to help the government find new ways of managing
forest areas in partnership with local communities, contributing to democracy,
justice, equity, rural sector investment, jobs and growth.
