Indonesia is a tropical nation endowed with a strategic geographical position, abundant natural resources, and a population advantage.
Indonesia is actively addressing environmental degradation through the implementation of various laws and regulations designed to mitigate existing environmental issues that affect multiple sectors and support sustainable development.
Consequently, collaboration and synergy among stakeholders and the broader community are essential to effectively achieve the vision, mission, and objectives aimed at combating global warming and achieving sustainable development in accordance with established targets.
Natural resources and ecosystems play a vital role in human existence.
For current and future success, their management and exploitation must be conducted sustainably, harmoniously, correctly, and in equilibrium.

Research frequently undertaken pertains mostly to the execution of environmental utilization.
This topic is compelling due to its renewable nature.
and also environmental challenges transcend national boundaries and have evolved into global concerns.
This research presents an empirical legal analysis informed by the legal policy theory articulated by Jeffrey J.
Rachlinski.
Rachlinski, as a law professor, has advanced the study of law and behavior, particularly in elucidating how law might influence individualsAo conduct.
20 Jeffrey J.
Rachlinski's expertise on the intersection of law and conduct offers significant insights for tackling legal policy challenges related to promoting ecologically sustainable elections.
The author posits that Rachlinski's methodology, informed by the impact of law on individual behavior, can formulate more effective policies to attain the objectives of ecologically sustainable elections.
The study uses methods of data collection, which enable the researchers to get data pertinent to the research outcomes.
For that reason, data is gathered through reviews of relevant literature, interviews, and document analysis as sources from participants pertaining to data, documents, or other relevant materials linked to the focus of the study.
The data is sourced from a variety of origins, including personal accounts, journals, publications, reports, and institutional resources.

Environmental Conservation in Sustainable Development Environmental protection within sustainable development is a critical global concern, particularly in Indonesia.
To achieve environmental protection, numerous measures can be implemented.
Primarily, environmental protection and management constitute a collective obligation among the government, the business sector, and the society.
One of the society's tasks in environmental initiatives is space monitoring.
Community engagement in safeguarding the right to a healthy environment is incorporated within numerous environmental regulations, as stipulated in the Environmental Protection Law.
Secondly, empirically, community engagement in environmental management has predominantly seen the community merely as a conduit for information or as a source of counsel, facilitating the smooth execution of environmental actions.

protection and management operations must be enhanced by expanding involvement opportunities.
According to the 2009 Environmental Management Law, the central government grants extensive jurisdiction to regional governments, encompassing planning through environmental inventory, as well as the formulation and creation of environmental protection and management plans.
Similarly, the management of natural resources, regulation of pollution, and protection of environmental functions including prevention, mitigation, and restoration are executed through initiatives aimed at conserving natural resources, oversight, and legal Consequently, municipal governments play a significant role in environmental preservation.
Consequently, for sustainable development to be achieved, there must be an equitable allocation of natural resources, both among contemporaneous communities and for posterity.
The recognition of the necessity to save the planet for future generations has established the notion of Sustainable Development, which can be realized through the Clean Production framework.
Industry stakeholders must acknowledge that including the Clean Production mechanism into environmental protection initiatives is essential for achieving Sustainable Development as mandated by the environmental law.
While the implementation of the Clean Production mechanism in industry is not mandatory, this does not imply a diminished bargaining position for Clean Production, as its principles are reflected in various national legal frameworks, including the 2009 Environmental Management Law.
If these legal obligations are not enforced, the ecosystem will face numerous forms of harm.
Air, marine, and aquatic pollution, ecosystem degradation, and the ramifications of climate change are issues that require urgent resolution to mitigate environmental pollution, necessitating governmental consideration of all these factors.
Per Article 53, paragraph .
of the 2009 Environmental Management Law, the public is alerted about environmental pollution and/or damage, even isolated contamination.
This is an alternative approach to mitigate environmental pollution and harm, which can be adapted in accordance with scientific and technological advancements in localized environmental contamination, with the public being alerted to this concern.

The Indonesian government imposes regulations on environmental issues to supervise companies that process and utilize natural resources.
Consequently, environmental management and protection must adhere to legal mandates that require compliance from all sectors, including the government and the community.
Furthermore, the province of Aceh hosts numerous enterprises that employ natural resources as their primary raw materials.
The Legal Implications of Environmental Protection in the Aceh Pilkada Discourse The Aceh Pilkada is a political contest for the election of regional leaders in Aceh Province.
The 2017 Aceh Gubernatorial Election constitutes a pivotal occurrence in Aceh.
On February 15, 2017, the Acehnese electorate selected the Governor and Deputy Governor for the 2017-2022 term.
The election had six pairs of competing candidates.
During the 2017 Aceh Gubernatorial Election, the Aceh Independent Election Commission (KIP) recognized six candidate pairs competing for the governorship.

Regrettably, the theme of the 2017 Aceh governor election did not emphasize environmental concerns.
The forthcoming Aceh gubernatorial election, first slated for 2022, has been deferred to 2024.

The expanse of community woods totals 11,632 hectares, distributed among multiple districts and cities.
The potential for timber in diverse forest regions amounts to tens of millions of cubic meters.
Moreover, there exist community-managed plantation forests operated by cooperatives, with proposals for designated areas for plantation forest development.
Roundwood production in Aceh originates from multiple sources, including industrial plantation forests, timber consumption permits, community forests, and auction Aceh produces several Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP.
in addition to wood, including rattan, sandalwood, and charcoal.
Numerous issues pertain to forest management in Aceh, including land conversion and suboptimal expansion of community management zones.
Consequently, it is imperative to enhance the governance of the forest and land sector and to fortify oversight of the forestry business.
The government must prioritize the acknowledgment of community management areas.
The Sabang City region, particularly surrounding Weh Island, is abundant in marine resources, notably the 2,600-hectare coral reef designated as a conservation area.
Nonetheless, the presence of this conservation area does not inherently ensure its sustainability.
Unsustainable fishing practices, including overfishing and the utilization of damaging fishing gear, continue to pose a significant danger to the coral reefs and marine ecosystems surrounding Weh Island.
The readily accessible Iboih Beach tourism destination contributes to a continual rise in visitor numbers.
The many tourism activities, while advantageous to the community's economy, also affect the environment, particularly concerning waste management issues.
The rise in visitor numbers to Iboih Beach, attributed to improved accessibility, has regrettably been accompanied by a surge in rubbish accumulation.
Public understanding on the significance of preserving environmental cleanliness remains inadequate, as does their involvement in environmental empowerment initiatives.
This poses a significant threat to the viability of Iboih Beach as a tourist destination.

Importance of Environmental Conservation in Aceh Pilkada Discourse and Sustainable Development The control of environmental protection, as outlined in the law on Environmental Protection and Management, has grown problematic due to the overlap between public policy laws and other field elements, resulting in several environmental issues.
The issue of conflicting regulatory policies necessitates a revision of environmental protection laws to ensure that field implementation aligns with established rules.
The government has faced numerous hurdles in promoting environmental urgency to facilitate sustainable growth.
Environmental concerns in the regions frequently receive insufficient prioritization due to constrained authority and budgetary allocations, while education and religion predominantly shape the vision and goal of the regional government in Aceh.
38 The budget lacks realism, as 20% is allocated for educational requirements and an additional 10% for The allotment of required Gampong money is set at 10%, hence precluding the provision of monies for environmental issues.
In the vision and mission, the matters of education and religion are the most salient in Aceh.
Despite not being referenced in the vision and mission, the budget remains extant.
Environmental concerns are more suitably addressed in the Aceh province.
The government similarly encounters this issue, specifically the department responsible for sanitation and environmental matters.
management policies in Central Aceh continue to have difficulties, particularly with the funding for landfills and trash transportation expenses, in addition to enhancing public knowledge of waste management.
Furthermore, in tourism regions like the administration of Laut Tawar Lake, agency responsibilities remain fragmented, with environmental oversight limited to waste management, while other functions, such as land use and community engagement, are distributed among multiple agencies.
40 The primary concerns are the management of funds and waste issues surrounding the lake, emphasizing the necessity of the regent's willingness to address these challenges.
Politics are influenced by relationships and interests, as well as reliance on the conscience and integrity of leaders in fulfilling their responsibilities.
