[ABSTRAK
CITES 1973 merupakan konvensi lingkungan internasional yang bertujuanuntuk melindungi tumbuhan dan satwa dari perdagangan internasional yangberlebihan. Konvensi ini menggerakkan upaya global untuk melakukankonservasi terhadap keanekaragaman hayati. Salah satu satwa yang terancambahaya kepunahan adalah harimau Sumatera. CITES 1973 memasukkannya kedalam kategori Appendiks 1 yang berarti tidak boleh ada perdagangan komersialterhadap satwa tersebut. Indonesia, sebagai negara habitat harimau Sumatera,telah meratifikasi CITES 1973 dan mengesahkan peraturan-peraturan hukumuntuk melindungi tumbuhan dan satwa, termasuk harimau Sumatera. Selain itu,Indonesia juga terlibat kerja sama regional dan global dengan negara-negarahabitat harimau lainnya. Namun, populasi harimau Sumatera terus menurun, tidakhanya karena perdagangan, tetapi juga karena kerusakan habitat, perburuan liar,dan konflik dengan manusia. CITES 1973 belum diimplementasikan dengan baikdi Indonesia terlihat dari lemahnya penegakan hukum yang menyebabkanpopulasi harimau Sumatera terus terancam. Penanganan kasus-kasus kriminalterkait harimau Sumatera tidak dilakukan secara tuntas dan sanksi-sanksi yangdiberikan tidak memberi efek jera. Perdagangan liar bersifat terbuka danterorganisir, baik di dalam maupun di luar negeri. Hutan di Pulau Sumateramengalami degradasi karena banyaknya konversi fungsi hutan untuk kebutuhankomersial. Masyarakat belum dilibatkan dalam perlindungan harimau danhabitatnya; sementara peran NGOs sering terhambat oleh respon yang lambat daripemerintah. Komitmen Indonesia terhadap CITES 1973 harus diperkuat agarharimau Sumatera tidak lagi terancam kepunahan dan ekosistem di sekitarnyajuga turut dilestarikan.
ABSTRACT
CITES 1973 is an international environmental convention aiming toprotect flora and fauna from excessive international trade. This convention drivesa global effort to conserve biodiversity. One of the animals that are in danger ofextinction is Sumatran tigers. CITES 1973 has categorized the species in theAppendix 1, which means there should be no commercial trade against thespecies. Indonesia, as the habitat for Sumatran tigers, has ratified CITES 1973 andpassed the legal regulations to protect plants and animals, including Sumatrantigers. In addition, Indonesia is involved in regional and global cooperation withthe other tiger range countries. Nevertheless, the population of Sumatran tigercontinues to decline, not only because of trade, but also due to habitat destruction,illegal poaching, and conflict with humans. CITES 1973 has not beenimplemented properly in Indonesia as seen from the lack of law enforcementcausing the population of Sumatran tigers continues to be threatened. Criminalcases towards Sumatran tigers have not been solved completely and sanctionsgiven have less deterrent effect. Illegal trade has become increasingly open andorganized, both domestically and globally. Forests in Sumatra have degradedbecause of the conversion of forest lands to fulfill commercial needs. Localcommunities have not been involved in the protection of tigers and their habitat;while the role of NGOs is often hampered by the slow response from thegovernment. Indonesia's commitment to CITES in 1973 should be strengthened sothat Sumatran tigers are no longer in danger of extinction and the ecosystemaround them is also conserved;CITES 1973 is an international environmental convention aiming toprotect flora and fauna from excessive international trade.
