It provides the responsibility of the state to guarantee legal protection for every citizen, including the alliance of customary law communities to obtain a healthy environment. The recognition or acceptance or justification of the indigenous peoples in the new constitutional structure officially is regulated in Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, as confirmed in the explanatory of the article – “in part, acknowledgment or acceptance or justification for the existence of the indigenous peoples in a number of laws and regulations” -. The multi-party collaboration method in handling the environment, especially forest governance is considered as a proportional model because of the organizing model between groups to achieve common goals that are relevant at ideal.
