This is a comprehensive evidence of Indonesia's indigenous people role in keeping the forest in the midst of uncertain climate change. One of the indigenous groups that still exist are the Bayanese people at Bayan village in North Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The Bayanese still maintain their forests through a set of custom rules containing 23 principles related prohibitions, obligations, as well as forest preservation system that has lasted for hundred years called awiq-awiq. This research conducted at the Bayan Village, North Lombok. The research aims to find out how the significance of the awiq-awiq concept as the Bayanese traditional rules capable to preserve and manage indigenous forests for hundred years and credited with keeping the climate enhancement in North Lombok. In addition, the study also wants to elaborate how the awiq-awiq can implemented in a wider space in order to find solutions to global climate change.
