The Urgency of Law Enforcement against the Trade in Protected Wildlife within the Framework of Maqashid al-Shariah
Keywords:
Law, Animals, MaqāṣidAbstract
The trade in protected wildlife is an environmental crime that still frequently occurs in
Indonesia, despite being regulated by Law Number 5 of 1990. This study aims to analyze law
enforcement against the trade in protected wildlife, its inhibiting factors, and its urgency from the
perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah. This study uses an empirical legal method with a socio-legal
approach, through interviews with officials from the Sulawesi Regional Environmental and
Forestry Law Enforcement and Security Agency and literature studies. The results of the study
indicate that law enforcement has not been effective because there are still many violations and a
weak deterrent effect on perpetrators. Obstacles found include limited apparatus resources, weak
coordination between institutions, legal regulations that have not fully kept up with technological
developments, low public legal awareness, economic factors, and high market demand. From the
perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah, law enforcement against the trade in wildlife is important
because it is related to efforts to maintain public welfare, prevent damage, protect lives, protect
descendants, and maintain environmental balance. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen law
enforcement in an integrated manner through a repressive, preventive, and educational approach based on the values of Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah so that wildlife protection and environmental sustainability can be realized in a fair and sustainable manner.
