Conservation is about the balance of nature. Panlungan Village, located in Wonosalam Subdistrict, Jombang Regency, has natural potential in the form of abundant forests and springs. However, illegal logging in 1998 damaged Panlungan's forests, reducing the headwaters of the river and increasing the risk of natural disasters such as landslides. Awareness of the importance of forests as a source of oxygen and habitat for various species prompted the local community to form the Kepu Forest Farmer Group (KTH) which focuses on conserving and planting forests with native plants. The Mendiro Settlement spring in Panlungan Village is the main source of livelihood for the local community, but is under serious threat due to man-made environmental degradation. The Kepuh Forest Farmers Group (KTH) has played an active role in the sustainable management of springs since the 1990s, with a focus on protecting the environment and educating the community about the importance of forest ecosystem conservation. This research shows that active community participation in forest and spring conservation is essential to preserve natural resources in Panlungan village. By strengthening supervision of illegal logging activities, strengthening conservation programs, and raising awareness of the importance of maintaining forest ecosystems, we hope to ensure the survival of future generations and the preservation of clean water sources for the people of Panlungan Village.

The implementation of environmental law influenced the success of the Eco Town program in maintaining the sustainability of river ecosystems by providing a strong foundation for preserving the environment. The implementation of strict regulations related to environmental protection and river management is key in ensuring that development within Eco Town does not damage the river ecosystem. In several case studies such as the Ciliwung River and the Brantas River, the implementation of environmental law has recorded significant improvements in the sustainability of river ecosystems. The main challenges faced in implementing environmental laws to support Eco Town programs are resource limitations, especially in terms of funds, technology, and natural resources. These limitations may hinder the effectiveness of the program and affect the ability to address environmental problems such as industrial or domestic waste management, and maintain ecological balance. To overcome these challenges, concrete measures such as improved accessibility and technology transfer, sustainable management of natural resources, and investment in environmental infrastructure are needed. By ensuring a solid environmental law implementation and paying attention to these limitations, the Eco Town program can run more effectively and efficiently in maintaining the sustainability of the river ecosystem and realizing a vision of sustainable development.

The Citarum River, as one of the important environmental assets in Indonesia, has experienced serious pollution due to industrial waste. Environmental legal regulations have been implemented to address these issues, but questions arise regarding the effectiveness of their implementation. This article analyzes the effectiveness of environmental legal regulations in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River, with a focus on the level of industrial compliance and its impact on the environment. This study uses a qualitative approach by reviewing the applicable environmental legal regulations, as well as analyzing the level of industry compliance with these regulations. In addition, the impact of compliance or violations on the environment is also evaluated. The results of the analysis show that although environmental legal regulations exist, their implementation is still not optimal. Many factories still violate the limits that have been set, either because of a lack of strict law enforcement or because of a lack of awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. As a result, the Citarum River continues to experience pollution which is detrimental to the environment and public health. Existing environmental legal regulations are not effective enough in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River. More serious efforts are needed from the government, industry and society to overcome this problem. Concrete steps are needed to increase industrial compliance, reduce waste pollution, and preserve the Citarum River environment for the welfare of the community and sustainability of the ecosystem. Further research can be conducted to evaluate the implementation of remedial actions and their impact on future environmental conditions. This article concludes the need for improvement measures in the implementation of environmental legal regulations, including stricter law enforcement and efforts to increase environmental awareness among industry. Apart from that, cooperation between government, industry and civil society is also important to achieve the restoration of a clean and healthy Citarum River.
