TINJAUAN YURIDIS PERDAGANGAN SATWA SECARA LEGAL BERDASARKAN CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES WILD OF FAUNA AND FLORA (STUDI KASUS EKSPOR KERA EKOR PANJANG INDONESIA)

Abstract

Trade-in wildlife is permitted according to the provisions of existing laws
and regulations. In Indonesia, long-tailed macaques are one of the wild animals
that are not protected by law. The trade provisions are regulated in the
Regulation of the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia Number 122 of
2018 concerning Provisions on Exports of Natural Plants and Wild Animals Not
Protected by Law and Included in the CITES List. In CITES, long-tailed
macaques are categorized in appendix II, which is a list of species that are not
currently extinct but would be so if trade were not strictly regulated. While on the
IUCN red list, the tailed macaque is included in the category of vulnerable to
extinction. For this reason, the author is interested in researching how the
regulation of the status of long monkeys according to IUCN, CITES and
Indonesian national law is made.
This type of research can be classified as the type of normative research,
namely legal research conducted by researching library materials. This study
examines legal principles, namely the principles of sustainability and the
environment with the cases studied. The conclusion that can be drawn from the
results of this study is that wild animals can be used legally as long as they
comply with the provisions contained in CITES. As stated in the consideration of
the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 1999 Wild
Plants and Animals, the long tail which is one of the natural resources can be
conserved but must pay attention to potential so that its utilization is maintained
and its utilization is carried out.
