This study examines the role of Eco-Theology as an effort to maintain the relationship between nature and humans based on a theological review of Jeremiah 14:1-9. Humans are called by God to protect and preserve the environment. However, in reality, humans actually damage and destroy the environmental order which results in an ecological crisis. As a result of human actions, God punishes and warns humans to pay attention to and maintain the sustainability of the surrounding natural environment. Jeremiah provides a theological understanding in the Book of Jeremiah 14:1-9 that God has the power to teach the Israelites who have an unfaithful and disobedient attitude towards God so that they experience a drought disaster. Humans are considered the main actors in the ecological crisis that causes natural disasters such as drought. The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the role of Eco-Theology by reviewing theological studies based on the book of Jeremiah 14:1-9 in order to realize awareness of human relations towards harmony with nature and reduce the ecological crisis. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative method. The research was conducted by collecting data, describing, analyzing and evaluating data through critical thinking from books, journal articles and the Bible related to the discussion. This method divides this research into three important points. First, Eco-Theology and the Role of Humans in Protecting Nature. Second, Theological Review of Jeremiah 14:1-9. Third, Implications of Jeremiah 14:1-9 and Eco-Theology as an Effort to Maintain the Relationship between Nature and Humans? The results of this study are to offer a theological study of Jeremiah 14:1-9 in applying the understanding of Eco-Theology in human life as an alternative in overcoming the ecological crisis. The conclusion is to convey the message that through human awareness as God's creation, we are responsible for maintaining the natural environment as a form of meaningful and harmonious relationship between God and humans and His other creations
