Abstract. Environmental disputes can be resolved in more profitable ways for the parties,
the government, and the general public. Civil disputes related to the environment can be
resolved using alternative dispute resolution outside the court. Disputes outside the court
can be settled with various profits or advantages compared to those resolved through the
courts. This paper focuses on dispute resolution out of court on disputes related to the
environment. The compensation claim is aimed at making the defendant restore the
damaged environment. The plaintiff received adequate compensation for their losses due
to environmental damage. Parties outside the court can resolve civil disputes due to
environmental damage without involving the court.

natural resources or management technology capable of producing them sustainably; (3) provide
opportunities for other sectors and activities to develop together in different regions and periods
on an ongoing basis; (4) enhance and preserve the ability and function of ecosystems to supply
