Natural resources in Indonesia itself are not limited to biological wealth but also various types of mining materials. Mining natural resources are spread throughout Indonesia, including natural gas, nickel, copper, bauxite, coal, gold, silver, petroleum, and tin.

Reporting from the Ministry of Education, natural resources are divided into two types, namely biological natural resources and non-biological natural resources. According to their nature, natural resources are divided into three types, namely eternal natural resources, renewable natural resources, and non-renewable natural resources.
