Abstract
Environmental development in Indonesia refers to long-term sustainable challenges in which the environment is continually preserved for the benefit of current and future generations. However, the economic growth, which is supposed to benefit citizens, has an influence on environmental degradation because it affects changes in natural and environmental situations. Changes in natural conditions and the environment must be regulated by law so that they may be used for the benefit of citizens without harming the environment and can be enjoyed and handed on to future generations. This article used normative legal research on Environmental Protection and Management Law No. 32/2009. It relates to legal guarantees from the government for environmental protection, especially the prevention of environmental damage due to massive exploitation of natural resources in Indonesia. The research method used a descriptive approach by analyzing and explaining what is inside the books, journals, or the opinions of environmental experts. The results showed that excessive use of natural resources to pursue development for the welfare of society may damage the environment and the efforts made by the government in handling the environmental damage with sustainable development policies are the best solution in managing the environment in Indonesia.

Notes
The United Nations has provided political support since 1992 by developing the principles of Sustainable Development through the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, known as the Rio Summit/the Earth Summit.
The mandate contained in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution, the state is obliged to prosper the people through various development efforts, one of the elements of development is that it requires a lot of land for which its functions are legitimate, and this affects the environment, so the concept of sustainable development is sought where development is sought keep going but still preserving the environment.
