Abstract

This study explores the role of technology in uncovering and addressing environmental crimes and identifying strategies and solutions to enhance environmental protection through technological innovation. The legal research method through literature review is employed to examine various written sources such as books, journals, legal documents, and previous research reports.

The findings indicate that remote sensing technology and drones (UAVs) play a significant role in environmental monitoring and law enforcement. Remote sensing technology allows for wide and accurate monitoring of environmental changes, such as deforestation and pollution. Meanwhile, drones provide flexibility in surveying and inspecting hard-to-reach infrastructure, as well as supporting law enforcement activities, such as detecting environmental crimes.

The use of sensors mounted on drones and related technologies also makes a significant contribution to investigations and law enforcement, enabling the collection of accurate and efficient evidence. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is also highly effective in mapping the location of environmental crime incidents, assisting in policy planning, and enhancing field coordination. However, the use of this technology also presents challenges related to privacy, data security, and ethics. Strict regulations and careful monitoring are necessary to ensure ethical and legal use. By continuing to develop this technology and considering ethical aspects, the effectiveness of law enforcement and environmental conservation efforts can be enhanced.
