However, glorifying any heroic action often leads to unintended consequences, including harm to certain subject’s property right and environmental damage. This study employs qualitative research with comparative approach to investigate the impacts of eco-terrorism and the evolution of laws addressing this issue at both national and international levels. Additionally, this research intent to examine the consequences of eco-terrorism and consider to put it into a novel form of environmental crime and torts. The research found that current international regulations, such as the United Nations World Charter for Nature and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which indirectly address eco-terrorism but lack specificity.  several countries use general provision to handle eco-terrorism regarding violation against civil rights. Even though existing rules able to manage some aspect of eco-terrorism, the new form and adaptive law need to be arranged against this issue in future.
