Abstract

Abstrak
Penyelamatan bumi yang semakin panas akibat berkurangnya pohon penyerap karbondioksida dan gas rumah kaca yang banyak ditebang, sejatinya, adalah karena ulah manusia dengan dalih untuk peningkatan ekonomi dan perluasan lapangan pekerjaan bahkan perumahan liar. Padahal, upaya pengalihan fungsi hutan yang tidak sesuai dengan konsep lestari lingkungan bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup. Perubahan fungsi lahan hutan dengan merusak lingkungan hidup menjadi lahan perkebunan maupun lahan pertanian merupakan salah satu penyebab munculnya deforestasi yang menjadi isu sentral dunia, karena Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara penyebar pencemaran lingkungan melalui asap kebakaran hutan. Sebagaimana diketahui, setiap perubahan maupun pengalihan fungsi hutan, seperti penebangan pohon secara liar, merusak permukaan tanah dan membakar kayu atau hutan tersebut untuk percepatan perluasan lahan, sungguh tidak sesuai dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 41 Tahun 1999 tentang Kehutanan, termasuk pembakaran kayu hutan secara liar yang menyebabkan kebakaran juga tidak sesuai dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2007 tentang Penanggulangan Bencana. Dengan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan, maka, tampak dengan jelas betapa perubahan-perubahan terhadap fungsi lahan yang merusak lingkungan secara deforestasi dapat segera dihentikan dengan upaya penegakkan hukum secara maksimal melalui peraturan perundang-undangan.
