REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Over 40 members of the Indonesian justice sector and law enforcement agencies gathered for the opening of a three-day Integrated Justice Sector Workshop on Managing Cases to Protect Indonesian Biodiversity at the Shangri-La Hotel on Monday.

The conference is co-hosted by the Indonesian Supreme Court and the U.S. Government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), according to the United State on its official website on Tuesday.

This workshop will focus on upholding Indonesian laws and regulations to more effectively protect forest resources, and the justice sector's role in protecting Indonesia's forests, wildlife, and citizens who depend on the diversity of the forests for their livelihoods. To date, the U.S. Government, through USAID, has invested 232 million USD in more than 40 countries including 32 million USD here in Indonesia, to conserve and better manage forests.

This workshop is just one of the U.S. Government's Justice Sector initiatives in Indonesia, which demonstrate the breadth of engagement under the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership.
