Abstract

Forest and/or land fires are considered as one of potential threats for sustainable development due to its direct devastating impacts towards ecosystem, carbon emission, biodiversity, human health, economy sectors and global climate. Due to the urgency of carbon emission (considered as trans- boundary haze disaster), South East Asia Countries (members of ASEAN) signed an Agreement of trans- boundary haze on June 2002 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Forest and/or land fires and its haze disaster becomes the utmost priority of the Indonesia Forestry Department due to the fact that those are happened in almost annual basis. This paper analyzes Indonesia current Forestry-related Laws and its implication towards arsonists. Australian Forestry Laws and Regulation will be the subject of comparison. As a result, authors aim to provide distilled regulatory approaches that can be incorporated into the Forestry-related Laws sentencing and trial systems in Indonesia. Also, authors are expecting to give positive recommendation towards a better developed environment laws perspective.
