Therefore, the meaning of illegal is not only under the jurisdiction of criminal law, but also state administration law, law of state matter or even international law.
From the perspective of process and implication, illegal logging can be categorized as an extra ordinary crime. This categorization is important in the context of putting illegal logging as one of the main priority crime to eradicate because the impact of illegal logging is hazardous for the forest sustainability, environmental balance, harm the country and the world’s society.
