Abstract

To overcome as well as to lessen the number of environmental problems in Indonesia, people within this country need to have high awareness and concern in conserving the nature and environment. One of the national educational goals in Indonesia is to bring out intelligent and well-mannered generations, and one of the goals in learning Geography is to build up environmental awareness characteristic. Local cultural wisdom has been living and spreading in every part of Indonesia archipelago. It has also been integrated and put up in people's living routines and practices. This study revealed that the local cultural wisdom of Balinese Aga and Samin people is highly related to environmental conservation and continuity. Therefore, positive values and attitudes are prominently needed to build and to improve the characteristics of environmental awareness, which should be introduced and familiarized to students starting from young age through formal education, trainings, and convention.
