By 2017, the new environment protection law is endorsed and effective.

Since several gaps were highlighted in the environmental protection law number 52 of 2006 especially the sections related to waste management, pollution, water, desertification and biodiversity. A new environmental protection law was developed through a participatory approach with various stakeholders. Therefore, it is necessary to follow-up the enforcement of the new law in order to support the conservation efforts of ecosystems, habitats and species in the future. Also, the enforcement of this law will support the national biodiversity and action plan implementation.
