This paper is based on the assumption that every community has a unique tradition and method in maintaining the environment. Local wisdom becomes a unique characteristic within the traditional societies. This can be seen in the efforts of the Kanekes community in Lebak, Banten, Indonesia to utilize and preserve their environment. One form of their appreciation for preserving the nature is conducted through teaching the advice to always protect their surrounding environment which is may not be destroyed within the framework of the social doctrine, namely Pikukuh. In the understanding of the Kanekes community, the term Pikukuh means rules, ethics, norms, values, or customary law which is developed based on local wisdom to communicate with their surrounding environment.
