This research uses a normative law approach. This research uses analytical descriptive because it will describe a reality and facts which related to environment crimes and then analysed using various theories and regulations that are closely related to the problems raised. The result of this research, restorative conferencing model is more suitable to be applied in environment cases because this method is considered quite fair because it involves the perpetrators, victims, their families and other parties involved in a crime, jointly seeking a solution to the crime. The conclusion of this research is the success of the restorative conferencing model in the form of an agreement as a concrete effort in order to ensure environmental sustainability and realize ecological justice. This model agreement can be in the form of compensation to the community, actions to restore the environment that has been damaged/polluted, certain actions to prevent damage/pollution and actions to prevent negative impacts on the environment.
