Peran World Wide Fund dalam Menanggulangi Perdagangan Ilegal Harimau Sumatera di Riau

Abstract

The dynamics of international politics in the era of globalization are faced with various
important issues such as environmental conservation. One of the issues that arises is illegal
trading of Sumateran tiger in Riau Province. In this study the authors will describe more
about the involvement of International Organizations namely World Wide Fund (WWF) to
handle the endangered species trade issues. This study used several approaches such as the
Neoliberal institutional theory, the Transnational crime theory, the theory of International
cooperation, and the International organization theory. While the method used in this study
is descriptive qualitative with secondary method data collecting. This study concluded that
the role of WWF to handle the Sumateran tiger illegal trading issues is realized through
informational / promotional activity, collaboration, and cooperation with Goverment,
implementation of collaboration program at home and abroad, formation of
communication channel and monitoring. These efforts have made progress in supporting
the conservation of endangered species, although they cannot be the fundamental solution.
