ABSTRACT 
 
The protection of forests today is not just a problem is regional (national) but it is 
a world problem (global). This is related to the function of forests in maintaining 
ecological balance which also affects the global climate, such as the effect of 
'global warming' which can threaten the safety of living things. Nevertheless, 
reality shows that the economic function of the forest, i.e., as a source of the eye 
livelihood for a group of people, as a means of accumulation capital (capital) for 
entrepreneurs (capitalist), and as a source of foreign exchange for countries, 
often defeating forest functions in maintaining equilibrium ecological (including 
global climate). The continued pressure of population increased is one of the 
factors that contribute to accelerating forest destruction. This is due to the need 
for more land and more building materials, both for settlement and land for 
activities farming, and materials for new buildings. Utilization excessive forest 
economic functions by a human (forest exploitation) without caring about 
ecological balance can be catastrophic for humans themselves and require far-
reaching economic and social costs greater than the economic results that have 
been obtained.

INTRODUCTION 
 

Indonesia is a country rich in minerals, including gold, silver, coal and other state-

controlled for the greatest prosperity of the people (Salim, 2003). As we all know 

that forest is the lungs earth where various living animals, trees, minerals, and 

various other resources that we can get from the forest are priceless to humans. 

Forest is also a natural resource that provides great benefits for human welfare, 

both tangible benefits are felt directly, or intangible that is felt indirectly. Direct 

benefits such as a supply of timber, animals, and mining products (Erbaugh & 

Nurrochmat, 2019; Harbi, Erbaugh, Sidiq, Haasler, & Nurrochmat, 2018). 

While indirect benefits such as recreational benefits, water conservation 

and regulation, erosion prevention. The existence of forests, in this case, the 

carrying capacity of forests against all aspects of human life, animals, and plants 

is determined on the high level of human consciousness of the importance of 

forests in the utilization and management of forests. Forests become a medium of 

mutual relationships between humans and other living things with natural 

factors comprising ecological processes and are a cyclic unity that can support life 

(Reksohadiprojo, 2000; Shah & Baylis, 2015; Armitage, 2002).  

Forests are natural resources that have various functions, both ecological, 

economic, social, and cultural necessary to support human life and other living 

things (Wheeler, Hammer, Kraft, Dasgupta, & Blankespoor). It is, therefore, 

necessary to do so control of forest destruction through forest protection 

activities. So that in general forest protection is an activity to keep the forest from 

factors that can cause damage to trees or tree stands in protection, conservation 

or production achieved optimally and sustainably in accordance with its 

designation. A factor which can cause damage to trees or tree stands is including 

land encroachment, illegal logging, fire, pests, diseases, and shepherding (Arif, 

2001). 

 

FOREST AND THE PROTECTION 
 

The definition of forest protection is firmly established in the Regulations 

Government Number 45 of 2004 Article 1 which is the translation of Law Number 

41 Year 1999 Article 47, forest protection defined as an attempt to prevent and 

limit forest destruction, forest areas and forest products, caused by human 

actions, livestock, fires, natural powers, pests and diseases, as well as maintaining

and safeguarding the rights of countries, communities and individuals over 

forests, forests, forest products, investments and management-related tools 

Forest (see also Kaskoyo, Mohammed, & Inoue, 2014). In the definition clearly 

stated that there are 2 (two) activities major in forest protection in Indonesia, 

namely: 

1. Prevent and limit damage to forests, forest areas, and forest products which is 

caused by human actions, livestock, fire, disaster nature, pests, and diseases. 

2. Maintain and safeguard the rights of the state, society, and individuals on 

forests, forest areas, forest products, investments and tools related to forest 

management. 

 The forest is conceptually juridical formulated in Article 1 Paragraph (1) 

Law No. 41 of 1999 on Forestry. According to the Law Forest is a unity of 

ecosystem in the form of the expanse of land containing biological resources 

dominated by trees in the environmental alliance of environment, which one with 

others cannot be separated. From the definition of the forests mentioned, there 

are elements that include: 

a. An ecosystem unity 

b. In the form of a stretch of land 

c. Contains natural resources and its natural environment that is not 

d. can be separated from one another. 

e. Able to benefit sustainably. 

There are two benefits of forests: (1) Direct benefits are benefits that can be 

felt / enjoyed directly by the community, i.e., the community can use and utilize 

forest products, such as timber which is the main forest product, as well as 

various forest products such as rattan, sap, fruits, honey and others, (2) Indirect 

benefits are benefits not directly enjoyed by the community, but that can be felt is 

the existence of the forest itself, such as can regulate the water system, can 

prevent erosion (Salim, 2003; Koh & Ghazoul, 2010; Kaskoyo, Mohammaed, & 

Inoue, 2017). 

The four basic characteristics are owned by a region called forest, is a series of 

a unity of components that are intact and interdependent to the function of 

ecosystems on earth. The existence of forests as a global sub-ecosystem identifies 

important positions as the lungs of the world (Zain, 1996).  

In general, the classification of natural resources is divided into forms (Zain, 

1997): 

a. land of rivers 

b. forest with various results 

c. natural land for beauty, recreation or for scientific research

optimally and sustainably. To achieve that goal is done by two principles: 

preventing and limiting the destruction of forests, forest areas and forest 

products, and maintaining and safeguarding the rights of countries, 

communities and individuals to forests, forests, forest products, investments 

and tools relating to forest protection activities. 

b. Chapter II implementation of forest protection.  

Consists of 4 sections and 11 Articles [chapters 7 to 17]. This chapter sets 

forth the four causes of forest destruction, forest, and forest products, namely 

human [first part], disruption of livestock [second part], natural resources 

[third part], pests and diseases [fourth part]. In this chapter, there is several 

chapters that seem to be trying to set limits on illegal logging practices, ie 

Article 12 [regulates the obligation to complete validity certificates of forest 

products on forest products] and article 14 [forest utilization can only be 

done after permission from authorized officials]. Another important article is 

that indigenous and tribal peoples are the implementing and responsible 

parties in forest protection activities over the forest areas they manage. The 

customary law community in question is indigenous peoples whose reality is 

still present and acknowledged its existence.

Indemnification, which must be deposited into the treasury, used for 

rehabilitation, restoration of forest conditions or necessary measures. The 

amount of compensation, set by the minister, is determined on two counts: 

the extent of forest destruction and the effects it has on the state. The basis of 

the two is the physical change, physical or biological nature. 

g. Chapter VII guidance, control, and supervision. 

It consists of two parts and six chapters [chapters 47 to 52]. Guidance, 

control, and supervision are done in stages where the minister has the 

authority to do these three things to the governor's policy. So is the governor

“The forest is a peculiar organism 
of unlimited kindness and 

benevolence that makes no 
demands for its sustenance and 

extends generously the products 
of its life activity; it affords 

protection to all beings, offering 
shade even to the axe-man who 

destroys it.” 
 

Gautama Buddha
