Forest area is a living environment that must be preserved. Therefore, forest protection is done through law no 18 of 2013 on the prevention and eradication of forest destruction. Although there is normative forest protection, forest fire and destruction cases are still common. So that the implementation of environmental law enforcement in Indonesia needs assessment has been appropriate or not with the law. Then if there is any inconsistency with the applicable regulations, it is necessary evaluation and solution to answer the problem. So that the goal of protecting the forest can be realized. Given the impact of forest fires and forest destruction is not only felt by people in the country but also the world community.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bermula dari inisiatif dari Jaksa pada KPK pada tahun 2017 yang mendakwakan bahwa kerugian lingkungan hidup dapat dianggap sebagai kerugian keuangan negara pada kasus pemberian izin usaha pertambangan oleh mantan gubernur Sulawesi Tenggara Nur Alam di beberapa daerah yang menjadi kewenangannya. Jaksa pada KPK menggunakan instrumen kerugian lingkungan hidup untuk menghitung kerugian keuangan negara yang merupakan salah satu elemen dalam tindak pidana korupsi. Tulisan ini akan menjelaskan secara deskriptif tentang peluang KPK untuk memperhitungkan kerugian lingkungan hidup sebagai kerugian keuangan negara dalam tindak pidana korupsi yang berujung pada persoalan apakah mungkin kerusakan dan atau pencemaran lingkungan hidup akibat pertambangan dapat memenuhi unsur merugikan keuangan negara dalam tindak pidana korupsi. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perudang undangan dan studi kasus Nur Alam. Dari analisa hukum yang dilakukan bahwa ada beberapa permasalahan dalam penentuan kerugian lingkungan sebagai kerugian keuangan negara karena hal ini mencakup banyak hal yaitu terkait keuangan negara, perizinan pertambangan, penegakan hukum lingkungan dan terakhir mengenai kategorisasi tindak pidana korupsi. Lebih lanjut bahwa penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa kerugian lingkungan hidup berpeluang menjadi sebagai tindak pidana korupsi karena lingkungan dianggap sebagai barang milik publik yang tercakup sebagai kekayaan negara sehingga kerusakan atas lingkungan hidup adalah kerusakan pada kekayaan negara yang berujung pada kerugian keuangan negara. Hal yang juga menjadi penting dalam hal ini adalah apakah dalam proses perizinan pertambangan memenuhi unsur unsur dalam tindak pidana korupsi. Selain itu jika tuntutan ini tidak dipenuhi, maka KPK dapat meminta kementerian yang berwenang untuk mengajukan gugatan secara perdata. Penerapan instrumen lingkungan ini juga memiliki tantangan terkait aturan yang jelas dan tegas terkait kerugian lingkungan hidup yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai tindak pidana korupsi.Kata Kunci: Kerugian Lingkungan Hidup, Pertambangan, Tindak Pidana Korupsi ABSTRACTThis research comes from the initiative of the Prosecutor at the Commission of Corruption Eradication of Indonesia (KPK) in 2017 which claims that environmental losses can be considered as state financial losses in the case of mining business licenses granted by former Southeast Sulawesi governor Nur Alam in several areas under his authority. Prosecutors at the KPK use environmental loss instruments to calculate state financial losses which are one of the elements of corruption. This paper will explain descriptively about the opportunity of the KPK to calculate environmental losses as state financial losses in corruption which lead to the issue of whether environmental damage and or pollution caused by mining can meet the elements of detrimental to state finances in criminal acts of corruption. The method used in this study is normative research by legal and case study approach. From the legal analysis, we can see that there are several problems in determining environmental losses as state financial losses because this includes interdisciplinary which related to state finance, mining licensing, environmental law enforcement and finally regarding the categorization of criminal acts of corruption. In addition, this research explains that environmental loss has the opportunity to become a criminal act of corruption because the environment is considered as public property which is included as state assets so that damage to the environment is damage to state assets which results in state financial losses. Moreover, this case considers whether the mining permit process fulfils elements in corruption. Furthermore, if this lawsuit is not met, the KPK can ask the authorized ministry to sue a lawsuit. The application of environmental instruments also has challenges related to clear rules related to environmental losses that can be categorized as criminal acts of corruption.

Building on the existing literature, this study examines whether specific drivers of forest fragmentation cause particular fragmentation characteristics, and how these characteristics can be linked to their effects on forest-dwelling species. This research uses Landsat remote imaging to examine the changing patterns of forests. It focuses on areas which have undergone a high level of a specific fragmentation driver, in particular either agricultural expansion or commodity-driven deforestation. Seven municipalities in the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso in Brazil are selected as case study areas, as these states experienced a high level of commodity-driven deforestation and agricultural expansion respectively. Land cover maps of each municipality are created using the Geographical Information System software ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. The resulting categorical maps are input into Fragstats fragmentation software to calculate quantifiable fragmentation metrics for each municipality. To determine the effects that these characteristics are likely to cause, this study uses a literature review to determine how species traits affect their responses to forest fragmentation. Results indicate that, in areas that underwent agricultural expansion, the remaining forest patches became more complex in shape with longer edges and lost a large amount of core area. This negatively affects species which are either highly dispersive or specialist to core forest habitat. In areas that underwent commodity-driven deforestation, it was more likely that forest patches would become less aggregated and create disjunct core areas. This negatively affects smaller, sedentary animals which do not naturally travel long distances. This study is significant in that it links individual fragmentation drivers to their landscape characteristics, and in turn uses these to predict effects on species with particular traits. This information will prove useful for forest managers, particularly in the case study municipalities examined in this study, in deciding which species require further protection measures. The methodology could be applied to other drivers of forest fragmentation such as forest fires.

Rapid technology advancements, especially in the past decade, have allowed off-the-shelf unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that weigh less than 250 g to become available for recreational use by the general population. Many well-known manufacturers (e.g., DJI) are now focusing on this segment of UAVs, and the new DJI Mini 2 drone is one of many that falls under this category, which enables easy access to be purchased and used without any Part 107 certification and Remote ID registration. The versatility of drones and drone models is appealing for customers, but they pose many challenges to forensic tools and digital forensics investigators due to numerous hardware and software variations. In addition, different devices can be associated and used for controlling these drones (e.g., Android and iOS smartphones). Moreover, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the adoption of Remote ID is not going to be required for people without the 107 certifications for this segment at least until 2023, which creates finding personally identifiable information a necessity in these types of investigations. In this research, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of DJI Mini 2 and its data stored across multiple devices (e.g., SD cards and mobile devices) that are associated with the drone. The aim of this paper is to (1) create several criminal-like scenarios, (2) acquire and analyze the created scenarios using leading forensics software (e.g., Cellebrite and Magnet Axiom) that are commonly used by law enforcement agencies, (3) and present findings associated with potential criminal activities.

As the world becomes increasingly interlinked through the Internet, cyberspace frauds are also on the rise. This is a case study on a company, Pyramid Cyber Security (P) Ltd., which specializes in digital crime, fraud and forensic solutions and services in India. Over the years, the company has established several digital forensics laboratories and security projects for agencies in law enforcement, the public sector and corporate organizations. With the scalability, flexibility and economic advantage offered by cloud computing, more and more organizations are moving towards cloud for their applications. With all the benefits of cloud computing, it also opens up a company to the danger of digital crime and security breaches on the cloud platform. This has thrown open new vistas for Pyramid, putting it in a dilemma of whether to focus on the existing business or explore new opportunities in cloud forensics investigation thrown by the wide acceptance of cloud computing. It also poses the question whether a company should go in for pre-incident or post-incident digital network security architecture. It is a teaching case.
