Implementasi CITES (Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) dalam Menangani
Perdagangan Kukang Ilegal di Indonesia
Slow loris or Nycticebus sp is one of endemic primate animals in Indonesia. Since
2007, slow loris has been categorized into Appendix I CITES (Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). It means
that slow loris is threatened to extinction, so this species can not be used as a
commodity on commercial trade. In fact, the number of slow loris in Indonesia,
specifically on Sumatra island still continue decreased from 2007-2014. Even
though, Indonesia has ratified CITES which is explained on UU No. 5 Tahun
1990 relates to Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems. Through this
regulation, Indonesia spreads and delegates an authority to implement CITES on
Ministry of Environment and Forestry as management authority and Research
Center for Biology-LIPI as scientifi authority. This paper aims to analyze to what
extent the compliance of Indonesia on CITES regime and determine main factors
that cause trade of slow loris in Indonesia. To achieve these objectives, it is used
a qualitative method through literature reviews and policy documents, then, it
compared with compliance theory and public policy implementation. The findings
of this paper shows that Indonesia has respect and compliant to CITES. Indonesia
compliant CITES to achieve the national interest, especially in the protection of
slow loris. However, slow loris trading still occurs due to several factors, such as
lack of bureaucratic structure, lack of communication, less of resources quality
and quantity, and disposition. In addition, a bilateral partnership agreement
among Indonesia and other country to minimize slow loris trading is still
unsuccessfull
