This paper explores land degradation as a form of environmental terrorism and seeks to find solutions by comparing similar cases in Indonesia and Malaysia. The study finds that while laws and regulations exist, addressing land degradation requires sustainable development practices, public awareness, and cooperative dialogue.
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the problem of land degradation as a category of environmental terrorism, which has been increasing along with the rise of open pit mining and oil palm plantation activities.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a doctrinal approach that aims to find the best solution to address the problem of land degradation and environmental terrorism activities in Indonesia through a comparative legal study conducted with the handling of similar cases in Malaysia, which has almost the same character as Indonesia.FindingsThis paper finds that both Indonesia and Malaysia have enacted laws and regulations to address environmental concerns. However, it turns out that relying only on law enforcement is not an optimal solution. Addressing the problem of land degradation would also require the implementation of sustainable development practices, public awareness and cooperative dialogue.Originality/valueThis paper provides a new approach to answer the inclusion of environmental degradation as environmental terrorism, which should also be considered a crime against humanity.
