## Abstract
Low compliance in the enforcement of corporate criminal fines in Indonesia’s forestry sector has fostered impunity for offenders, undermining ecological restoration. This research aims to provide a conceptual framework for reforming the rigid criminal fine enforcement system to achieve both legal rigor and ecological justice. The research adopts a normative legal methodology, employing a statutory approach to analyze environmental and forestry regulations to identify legal gaps, alongside a conceptual approach to design a more stringent mechanism for corporate fine enforcement. The findings indicate that while Indonesia has established mechanisms for imposing fines for forestry-related offenses, the effectiveness of law enforcement post-judicial rulings remains low, exacerbated by pervasive judicial corruption. Consequently, corporations often evade their financial obligations, preventing both ecological and economic restitution. This research proposes a law enforcement framework that integrates preventive and repressive measures, applying parameters such as the size of concessions, logging method requirements, royalty payments, and penalties within government policy instruments, with a central focus on executing fines to ensure environmental restoration.
