Abstract

The trade of protected wildlife has a detrimental impact on the sustainability of endangered wildlife populations in Indonesia. Criminal punishment against the perpetrators of the crime of transportation of animals for the purpose of trade must create a deterrent effect. This article discusses judges’ considerations in giving the sentence to the perpetrator of this case. In this normative research, relevant literatures in the forms of laws and regulations were analyzed. Based on the results of the research, the Decision Number: 77/Pid.B/LH/2020/PN.Tjk is made based on juridical, sociological, and philosophical considerations. The author suggests imposing substantial fines on individuals involved in the illegal trade of protected wildlife, given that their actions are primarily driven by economic incentives. Furthermore, the implementation of community service penalties for convicted poachers and wildlife traffickers is recommended to address and mitigate the impact of their crimes.
