“…The Baduy community is known for local doctrines and wisdom that can walk side by side with nature. The Baduy hold the understanding of biocentrism that is human is part of nature itself; therefore, it must be maintained and preserved based on the intrinsic value of all living things that share the world, which is different from anthropocentrism, namely human as the main center (Keitsch, 2018;Fincham, 2018;Budiaman et al, 2018). Baduy believes that humans need to care for nature and there should be no exploitation of nature.…”
