Abstract
Judges in Indonesia can base their considerations on international legal rules regarding environmental law which are seen as jus cogen which has attained strength as a peremptory norm. The purpose of this research is to analyze the process of legal reasoning by judges and to develop legal reasoning based on environmental conservation. The approach method used in this research is juridical-normative. The results of the study show that the legal reasoning of judges in handling environmental cases, especially in Indonesia, has so far focused on legal positivism which emphasizes the value of legal certainty which has implications for case enforcement which is limited to imposing sanctions on the accused/perpetrator. Environmental conservation should be the main focus for judges to carry out legal reasoning so that legal benefits can be realized with certainty since environmental conservation means protecting various interests including the interests of individuals who interact with the environment.
