Abstract:
Local wisdom that develops in rural communities is the result of local community habits or
cultural community as a form of adaptation to the nature and environment where he lived.
Society uses its own ways to manage nature and the environment. The habits then form
with what is called local wisdom. Local wisdom contains values, beliefs, and the religious
system adopted by the local community. Local wisdom is at the core of activities that
protect and conserve nature and the environment. Therefore, it is important to examine
and conserve local wisdom that develops in the community. But over time the existence of
local wisdom is increasingly eliminated by the entry of various technologies and social
problems faced by society such as increasing population. Such circumstances lead people
to abandon local wisdom that has been passed down from generation. People’s mindset
began to change with the waning of local wisdom from the holistic mindset to the
mechanical mindset. People no longer think about the balance of nature and the
environment in managing the natural resources and the environment. The prospect of local
wisdom depends heavily on how communities are preserving the existing locality and how
people change its mindset back to a holistic mindset. So that natural resources and the
natural environment owned by the community can be utilized and preserved without
disturbing the balance. One effort that can be done to instill awareness of the community
early on will be the knowledge of preserving and preserving the environmental education
in school. Educational institutions are an effective place in learnes of variousthings
including environmental conservation
