Abstract

Various concepts and movements for environmental conservation have emerged through national and international forums. At the local community level, forms of local ecological wisdom have also developed to support the preservation of nature. Through an examination of the Usada Sasak manuscript of Sasak community and related manuscripts and customary practices, this article explores the concept of environmental conservation embedded in the text and its implementation in the traditional rituals of the Sasak community. The Usada Sasak manuscript of Sasak community documents the historical practices of the Sasak people concerning the use of medicinal plants and the conservation of the natural environment. Accordingly, the Sasak community of Lombok employs traditional regulations known as awig-awig, which are closely intertwined with Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and are reflected in several local traditions, such as Selamet Olor (a forest ritual). The findings show that the Usada Sasak manuscript of Sasak community functions as a cultural reference for traditional healing, forest conservation, and the application of Islamic jurisprudence in everyday life. These interconnected practices have shaped the Sasak community's social institutions and cultural worldview while fostering an environmentally oriented expression of Islam rooted in local ecological wisdom.
