One of the important events in environmental law enforcement in Indonesia is the case of PT. Kallista Alam about the
burning of peatland in Rawa Tripa, Aceh. Based on the decision of the Meulaboh District Court No. 12/PDT. G/2012/PN.
MBO, which was later strengthened by the Banda Aceh High Court and the Supreme Court, the purpose of this study is to
examine aspects of compensation and environmental restoration. The research uses juridical-normative methods, using the
analysis of court decisions. The results of the analysis show that, based on Article 88 of Law No. 32 of 2009, the court
applies the principle of strict responsibility, which establishes responsibility without proof of error. PT. Kallista Alam was
subject to compensation and recovery of IDR 366 billion, including ecological losses and active recovery. However, many
challenges hinder the implementation of the decision. This includes constant legal remedies and inadequate oversight of
executions. Concerning the principles of ecological justice and sustainable development, this decision relies heavily on
cooperation between judicial institutions, government, and civil society.
Keywords: Environmental Law, Strict Liability, Compensation, Ecological Recovery, Sustainable Development.
