Monitoring and securing forest areas are inherent components of forest resource protection and management, yet their implementation on the ground often fails to meet the expectations set by legal norms. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing forest area monitoring and security systems in Indonesia, identify the factors that weaken such systems, and formulate ideal strengthening measures to improve the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement against forestry crimes and to prevent future ecological disasters, using the destruction of the mangrove ecosystem in Pasar Rawa Village, Langkat Regency, as a case study. This research employs normative and empirical juridical methods, through a literature study of statutory regulations combined with interviews and field observations at the Village Forest Management Institution (LPHD) of Pasar Rawa. The results show that legal provisions on forest protection, ranging from Law Number 41 of 1999 on Forestry, Law Number 18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, to Government Regulation Number 23 of 2021 on Forestry Administration, have positioned prevention as an inseparable part of forest protection. However, the operationalization of these norms on the ground has not been followed by a measurable and responsive monitoring mechanism, as reflected in the destruction of the mangrove ecosystem in Pasar Rawa Village. The weakness of the forest area monitoring and security system is caused by six main factors: regulations that remain general in nature, limited budget and facilities, weak human resource capacity, overlapping cross-sector authority, low community participation, and weak law enforcement that fails to produce a deterrent effect.
