| Summary: | <span lang="EN" style="">Humans and nature are two inseparable components. These two
components are connected in a complex way. The environmental crisis is a real
threat at this point. Various natural phenomena such as hot summers and rains
that come irregularly are examples of an imbalance in nature. This article
argues that the knowledge possessed by a community group can help preserve the
environment in that area. This is due to social networks that produce a number
of shared knowledge between humans and nature that can shape their way of life.
The methodology used in this study is a qualitative method by conducting
literature reviews, environmental observations, and in-depth interviews with
traditional leaders and indigenous peoples to identify and analyze local wisdom
in two major ethnic groups in Indonesia, namely: Minangkabau and Javanese. The
Minang people have local wisdom through rimbo larangan (forbidden
forests) and customary land in preserving their environment. Meanwhile, Java
has a tradition of the tayub dance which is performed during the harvest
season. The main finding in this study is that local wisdom derived from the
culture of the local community can help preserve the environment but needs to
be strengthened through positive law in the country.<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span>
