Preservation of local wisdom by itself will help themto preserve the village environment they live in. Because the values of local wisdom will make the community have a strong character in accordance with the culture and norms applicable in

preserve conservation areas because usually the area is closely related to the values of
local wisdom adopted. Conservation activities in an area should come from community awareness in the region concerned. Awareness of the importance of maintaining
biodiversity is needed not only for the interests of the Indonesian people but also

intelligence, in the form of understanding and translating human relations with all
elements and other living things. Ecologically intelligent human beings, he said,
put themselves as environmental controls as outlined in real attitudes and behaviors
when treating nature. The universe is not only a source of exploitation but a house
of shared life that continues to be protected, cared for, laid out, and not destroyed.
