Review of Forest Management in Indonesia Towards a Sustainable Environment

\nThis study aims to analyze the efforts made by Indonesia in managing the forest environment. The reason is that Indonesia is ranked 164th out of 180 countries regarding environmental performance by The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) with a score of 28.20 points which is categorized as a country with low forest management. This study uses a qualitative method with research data obtained by means of desk studies from secondary data through online mass media reports in the period 2020 – 2024 and previous studies both from photos, archives, documents, and reports. The results of the study show that the forest management process in Indonesia is more inclined to efforts to preserve nature. Although various methods have been carried out, obstacles are still found in the fragility of the forest resource asset security system, weak forest institutions in the field, and the control of licensing administration by the government are factors that worsen forest management in Indonesia. So that the efforts made by Indonesia in managing the forest environment have not been optimal and are very far from perfect.\n
