Legal protection for mining land in Indonesia is regulated with various laws and regulations, including Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, and other derivative regulations. The purpose of this legal protection is to ensure environmental sustainability, protect community rights, and ensure that mining activities are carried out responsibly. This study aims to determine the laws and regulations governing environmental management, including environmental permits, waste management, and post-mining land reclamation. The Minerba Law also regulates the protection of communities affected by mining. Including the rights of indigenous peoples, and the related compensation and rehabilitation. Mining activities must be carried out with attention to social and environmental aspects, and efforts must be made to prevent possible negative impacts. This study uses a legal approach and concludes on the necessity of legal protection that ensures environmental sustainability, realizes community welfare, ensures social justice, and realizes sustainable mining activities. Legal protection regarding mining land in Indonesia is very important to ensure that mining activities are carried out responsibly and do not cause major negative impacts on the environment and society. Strong laws and regulations and their enforcement are key to achieving sustainability goals in mining activities.
