Abstract

 Natural resources are everything that comes from the earth, biosphere, and atmosphere, whose existence depends on human activity. All parts of our natural Energy and Mineral Resources such as grains, trees, soil, water, air, sun, rivers are natural resources. Natural resources are elements consisting of plant natural resources, namely plants and animal natural resources or animals with non-living elements around them which as a whole form an ecosystem. Natural resources have a role in fulfilling human needs. In compiling this research, the author uses a normative research method. Normative legal research is legal research that places law as a building of a norm system. The norm system that is built is about the principles, norms, rules of laws and regulations, court decisions, agreements, and doctrines/teachings. The legal research process carried out by the author by examining library materials or secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. These materials are arranged systematically, reviewed, then a conclusion is drawn in relation to the problem being studied. Mining activities in Indonesia must be closely monitored to avoid illegal mining which often ignores the negative impacts that arise after mining. Every mining industry needs to recover Energy and Mineral Resources at the post-operational stage of mining activities so that detrimental impacts can be minimized.
