This article discusses the urgency of establishing an Institution for the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction which is a mandate in the law.The research method used in this article is a normative juridical research method. The results of this article show that the Institution for the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction is one of the mandates contained in Law Number 18 of 2013 and must have been existence for at least two years since the law was promulgated. However, until now this intitution has not been formed. It can be said that Law Number 18 of 2013 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction has not been implemented ideally. The basic idea that was developed through the design of the Institution for Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction will be placed below and responsible to the President consisting of elements from forestry, police, prosecutors and other related elements, such as elements from related ministries, experts/specialist and community representatives.  Besides having a function of law enforcement, the authority of the Institution for the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction also has the function of coordination and supervision
