Wetland Environmental Law Enforcement in South Kalimantan

Abstract

The wetland environment as part of the environment will certainly follow the legal principles and mechanisms stipulated in Law 32/2009. This is important because the wetland environment whose benefits are needed for the needs of the community, especially the people of South Kalimantan, which in terms of demographics and geography is the largest part as farmers whose lives are so dependent on the wetland environment, it is necessary that activities in wetlands are sustainable so as to maintain their sustainability and avoid damage to the wetland environment. The research question to be answered is how to enforce wetland environmental laws in South Kalimantan against damage arising from management carried out by the community?. The research method used is environmental law research supported by ecological data and analogy. The results of this study concluded that the wetland environment in South Kalimantan covers almost one-third of the area of South Kalimantan which has the potential to move the wheels of South Kalimantan's economy, but in management it is often mismanaged due to damage and pollution, so for damage control it is not enough just to be scientific in their fields but need legal assistance in the form of law enforcement. However, South Kalimantan is not used to this method so there are not enough wetland environmental law enforcement instruments available. Therefore it needs further development.
