Legal Protection Against Economic Exploitation Of Animals

Abstract

The economic exploitation of animals in Indonesia threatens the sustainability of species and the balance of ecosystems. Practices such as entertainment, social media content, poaching, and illegal trade have far-reaching impacts. Results show limited human resources and budget, low public awareness, weak law enforcement, and lack of coordination across sectors. A comprehensive approach is needed that includes legal strengthening, public education, and community participation. This research is expected to contribute to biodiversity conservation and animal protection in Indonesia
