I hope that we agree.... That everyone wants To live in a safe world Where we can breath Fresh air every day Consume clean water Enjoying the view of blue sky
Because God has given us the world that is ..... Beautiful Unique Amazing
What makes our world beautiful? Blue Sky T he sea Various of plant & Flowers
What makes our world Unique? Various mammals Birds & Insects
Then..... What makes our world amazing? Waterfalls Blue Ocean High mountains
However.........nowadays our world is in danger.....
From the video, we now realize that environmental protection is so very important to protect damage to our world
We can do many things to prevent damage to the environment
We don’t need to go overseas X
Because, in our country, we often don’t realize that there are many LOCAL WISDOMS that can teach us how to keep our environment safe
One of them, we can learn local wisdom from Baduy tribe in Lebak Banten They have their strong norm ( pikukuh ) that say : Mounts can’t be destroyed, valley cannot be damage, message from elderly cannot be changed, the length cannot be cut, short cannot be joined
And those rules are obeyed by the people They have rules, can not cut down trees, keep water source, the rules of hunting animals So that the balance of nature, clean water and ecosystem are still well maintained
Besides that, we can learn from indigenous knowledge from the people in Kampung Naga in Tasikmalaya They have a value that human’s life has a bonding with the nature as the source of their life They really keep their environment clean They catch fish naturally without using chemical They obey the rules of cutting down trees in forest
And many more, LOCAL WISDOM that can teach us how to keep our environment safe Are we inspired by them? What can we do? We can start with small things!
We have a short video about how we can participate to keep our environment safe
I want to repeat the message that I quote from Pikukuh baduy tribe : Gunung teu meunang dilebur, Lebak teu meunang diruksak, Larangan teu meunang dirempak, Buyut teu meunang dirobah, Lojor teu meunang dipotong, Pondok teu meunang disambung”
Hopefully, this short presentation can inspire all of us
