Abstract

This study investigates the intellectual endeavor to revive Islamic tradition and thoughts on nature conservation by using scientific narration and reasoning. The intellectual exercise, which is made by the Center for Islamic Studies Universitas Nasional (PPI-Unas), Jakarta that leads to various actions on nature conservation, from protecting the forest and endangered wildlife from poaching, preventing forest fire, and reducing CO2 emission to fighting climate change. The temporary result of these efforts to integrate Islamic teaching and sciences is then translated into 42 social and environmental projects and has been drawing support at home and overseas, academic circles, research institutions, donors, and NGOs. The obvious indication of international support is the accreditation of the PPI-Unas by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Conclusion: At the practical level, modern sciences and Islamic teaching on nature conservation are complementing each other.
