Abstract

Indonesia is a megabiodiversity country. But the loss of habitat and exploitation have threatened our biodiversity. So far many projects have failed to protect the biodiversity in Indonesia. To be auccessful, conservation works in Indonesia must deal with the environmental ethic. Religion is one source of ethic. Since most Indonesians are Moslems it is imperative that Islamic scholars and preachers include environmental ethic in their speech. It is encouraging to find out that Islam does support conservation of nature, including biodiversity. If conservation of biological diversity has been understood by the general public as a religious duty, it will be much easier for conservation workers to do their jobs.
