This paper discusses the UUPLH as the basis of Indonesia's environmental policy to prevent and overcome environmental pollution and destruction. A good and healthy environment is created; ecological law enforcement uses state administrative law instruments, civil law, and criminal law. At the law enforcement level, there are many obstacles. Due to the unclear formulation of offenses and various sanctions, the proof is quite difficult, except in being caught red-handed. Strictly speaking, preventive and repressive law enforcement measures against forest and land fires cases and their ecosystem impacts are still not adequate. This fact can be seen from the lack of resolution of forest and land burning issues that have been submitted to the court, and even almost none of the perpetrators of forest and land logging were charged with the legal sanctions above. As for the culture of law culture, the cases of forest and land fires are certainly large-scale corporations, which can even control political power. The state, in this case, state administrators, should consistently target corporate crime and focus on law enforcement efforts using available instruments.

A good and healthy environment is a human right of every Indonesian citizen as mandated in Article 28H of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Indiscriminate environmental management contributes to the deterioration of the quality of the environment, therefore it is necessary to increase environmental protection and management. The protection and sustainable management of the environment is the responsibility of the government and the community. The government's responsibility in protecting and managing the environment is a function of public services, to ensure that all residents have a good and healthy environment. Then the government can be held accountable, both administratively, civilly and criminally when the government neglects to carry out its obligations that are not in accordance with the aspirations of the community. This research is qualified as a normative legal research by applying several types of approaches, namely, a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, a philosophical approach, a historical approach, a comparative approach, a case approach including a cultural approach based on local community wisdom. Therefore, this study aims to find philosophical and theoretical thoughts based on local wisdom about the nature of integrating community aspirations in the enforcement of Environmental Law both in administrative law, civil law and criminal law. The results of the study show that environmental protection and management is an effort to carry out responsibilities, which is very difficult, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the environment. Therefore, law enforcement is to make improvements to the applicable rules through the politics of normative legislation, then followed by administrative law enforcement. However, participatory environmental enforcement by integrating the values ​​that develop in the community in protecting and preserving the environment is an ideal form to protect and manage the environment wisely to realize sustainable regional development.   Lingkungan hidup yang baik dan sehat merupakan hak asasi setiap warganegara Indonesia sebagaimana diamanatkan dalam Pasal 28H UUD RI 1945. Pengelolaan lingkungan yang kurang bijaksana  turut memperparah penurunan kwalitas lingkungan hidup karena itu perlu dilakukan peningkatan perlindungan dan pengelolaan lingkungan hidup.  Perlindungan dan pengelolaan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan merupakan tanggungjawab pemerintah beserta masyarakat. Pertanggungjawaban pemerintah dalam melakukan perlindungan dan pengelolaan lingkungan hidup merupakan fungsi pelayanan public, untuk menjamin seluruh penduduk mendapatkan lingkungan yang baik dan sehat. Maka pemerintah dapat diminta pertanggungjawabannya, baik secara administrative, perdata maupun pidana mana kala pemerintah lalai melaksanakan kewajibannya yang tidak sesuai dengan aspirasi masyarakat. Penelitian ini dikualifikasikan sebagai penelitian hukum normatif dengan menerapkan beberapa jenis pendekatan yaitu, pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konseptual, pendekatan filsafat, pendekatan sejarah, pendekatan perbandingan, pendekatan kasus termasuk pula pendekatan budaya atas dasar kearifan masyarakat lokal. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan pemikiran filosofis dan teoritis berbasis kearifan lokal tentang hakikat pengintegrasian aspirasi masyarakat dalam penegakan Hukum Lingkungan baik secara hukum administratif, hukum perdata maupun hukum pidana. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa perlindungan dan pengelolaan lingkungan hidup adalah upaya mengemban tanggungjawab sangat sulit sehingga mengakibatkan terjadinya penurunan kwalitas lingkungan hidup makin nyata.  Oleh karenanya maka penegakan hukum adalah melakukan penyempurnaan terhadap aturan yang berlaku melalui politik legislasi penormaan selanjutnya baru diikuti penegakan hukum administrasif.  Namun demikian penegakan lingkungan partisipatif dengan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai yang berkembang di masyarakat dalam menjaga dan melestarikan lingkungan adalah suatu bentuk idial untuk melindungi dan melakukan pengelolaan lingkungan hidup secara bijaksana untuk mewujudkan pembangunan  daerah yang berkelanjutan.

Scholars and politicians often complain about how weak administrative law enforcement is in China. To better understand the challenges in law enforcement, as well as variation in actual practices and influences on such practices, the current paper analyzes Chinese pollution law enforcement data from the last two decades as well as in depth qualitative case studies of everyday enforcement practices. It finds that recently enforcement has become much more frequent and stricter. It finds that recent changes in national legislation, centralization reforms, increased citizen complaints, as well as enforcement campaigns all played a role in this. While this has helped strengthen enforcement, and maybe has played a part in recent pollution reductions, it has not fundamentally overcome structural enforcement impediments. The increased authority, independence, and pressure on environmental authorities for stricter enforcement, does not seem to be matched with sufficient investment in resource capacity and support for regular procedural enforcement practices. In addition, the ad-hoc pressure on enforcement has undermined regular legal procedure and stimulated greater socio-economic inequality. These findings about pollution enforcement force us to question simplistic static generalizations of administrative law enforcement and instead develop both large-scale studies that map change over time as well as in-depth case studies that provide a thorough picture of actual practices on the ground. Moreover, the paper concludes that a true picture of administrative enforcement must move beyond looking at the enforcement itself, to looking at how it arrives at the regulated companies and shapes their compliance.

Political Law is one of the discourses that control the existence of law.One of the realm of law that has recently received the spotlight and serious attention. Particularly related to the legal political option is the environment law that increasingly strong day include criminal law enforcement in law enforcement. There are some weak things that then have negative implications, against the enforcement of environmental laws related to the lack of cautious political choice. Since 1982 in Law No. 4 of 1982 on the Principles of Environmental Management which was changed in 1997 into Law No. 27 of 1997 on Environmental Management, the legal politics of criminal law policy has been conducted, that the criminal law policy in the realm of the environment is already a choice of legal politics in the realm of environmental law. Law Number 32 Year 2009 About PPLH as the latest generation, adds Chapter XV of the Criminal Code in its charge of 23 Articles. Law Number 32 Year 2009 contains a much more complete criminal provision than Law Number 23 Year 1997. Although there is still much to be fixed on the provisions of Law Number 32 Year 2009. Base on research shows that there are special procedural laws that regulate formal law enforcement. It is based on the principle of ultimum remedium which means that the implementation of the criminal law must wait until the effectiveness of administrative law is upheld. To minimize obstacles in enforcing environmental laws which are sometimes used by political elites to seek profit, formal laws against environmental crimes should be set up specifically with the Act.

The application of regional regulations in the field of Regional Taxes and Retribution in Ternate City has not yet been submitted to the Court with criminal convictions, but it is realized that the regional regulation enforcement officers have not fulfilled the tax obligations. Even so, violations of the Tax and Retribution Regional Regulations on administrative law sanctions are chosen to be enforced rather than criminal sanctions because administrative legal sanctions are more effective in their enforcement. Therefore, the formation of regional regulations on taxes and levies does not only pay attention to aspects of legal substance, but also aspects of structure and cultural aspects, in the form of the availability of regional law enforcement officers which in turn result in enforcement of regional regulations on taxes and levies so that criminal sanctions can be utilized to increase original income.

Abstract The biological potential in Indonesia is no longer managed and protected. So far Indonesia has had biologically related laws and regulations, but its implementation is still weak and less effective. Therefore, Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management or called UUPPLH mentioned the management and protection of biodiversity based UUPPLH namely two principles in law of criminal provision, the principle of remedium ultimum which is an effort, and the principle of premium remedium that takes care of the law. So far many mistakes in interpreting the application of the principle of remedium ultimum which is said to make it difficult for law enforcement to enforce environmental criminal laws and can shackle law enforcements in carrying out task of environmental law enforcement. In addition, it is also said that the principle of remedium ultimum can also harm the environment due to violations of waste water quality standards, emissions, and disturbances that take precedence is the administration of administrative sanctions, meaning that there is no deterrent effect on perpetrators. Therefore, it is necessary to deconstruct the principle of remedium ultimum in the proper enforcement of environmental criminal law including structuring and enforcement (compliance) which can also be a view of criminal law that can be used as an instrument in the framework of protection and management of tropical biodiversity, especially the environment and can bring consequences for the intertwining of criminal law with administrative law. The results of the research are based on UUPPLH that can protect biodiversity by Indonesia and reconstruct the principle of ultimum remedium in environmental law. Research methods using normative legal research on philosophical.

Everyone has the right to a good and healthy environment as part of human rights. Hence, to actualize the right to a good and healthy environment, the community or everyone has the right to environmental information related to the role in environmental management. The research is a socio-juridical. The results show that the management of human environment in Manado is implemented through the establishment and implementation of local regulations. The issuance of local regulations related to environmental law enforcement are local regulations on Environmental Protection and Management; Domestic Wastewater Management; and Waste Management and Cleaning Service Fees. However, the three local regulations have not been implemented optimally. Even the local regulation on the Waste Management and Cleaning Service Fees provides regulations that are not in accordance with the needs of the community in waste management and not in accordance with the laws and regulations related to waste.
