The control of natural resources within the Indonesian legal system continues to be dominated by an anthropocentric paradigm, positioning nature primarily as an object of exploitation. This has resulted in inadequate protection of ecological functions and a failure to realize substantive justice. The study aims to analyze the construction of justice in natural resource control, examine the concept of the Rights of Nature from a natural philosophy perspective, and formulate a model for reconstructing justice based on the Rights of Nature in the case of the UNESA Reservoir restitution in Surabaya.

The findings indicate that justice in natural resource control has not fully integrated the ecological dimension, while the Rights of Nature concept provides a foundational basis for expanding the meaning of justice through the recognition of the intrinsic value of nature.The reconstruction of justice is carried out through the strengthening of normative, institutional, and governance aspects, positioning ecosystem sustainability as an integral component of justice itself.The reconstruction of justice in natural resource governance based on the Rights of Nature in the case of the UNESA Reservoir restitution demonstrates that resolving natural resource issues requires a paradigmatic transformation that places ecological functions as a primary consideration.The proposed reconstruction model provides a direction for legal reform that is more just and sustainable, ensuring a balance between human interests and ecosystem sustainability.

To address the limitations of the anthropocentric paradigm and achieve a more just and sustainable management of natural resources, a comprehensive approach is necessary. This approach should involve integrating ecological values into legal systems, recognizing the intrinsic value of nature, and promoting the Rights of Nature concept. Additionally, there is a need to strengthen institutional mechanisms and law enforcement to ensure the effective protection and restoration of ecological functions. By adopting a holistic and inclusive perspective, the legal system can better address the complex challenges of natural resource governance and contribute to the overall sustainability of ecosystems.
