Environmental Ethics in Islam: Balancing Rights and Ecological Justice in Forest Management
Abstract
Environmental ethics in the perspective of Islam, position nature and God’s creation with honor and equality alongside humans. This aligns with the concept of social forestry, which aims to uplift impoverished communities and preserve forests. The balance between the two is necessary because social forestry is not only about land distribution but also about justice for communities to access welfare and achieve ecological justice. The dynamics of social forestry in Lampung strive to improve community well-being while ensuring forest sustainability. In conclusion, social forestry builds strategic ecological values that guarantee the sustainability of forest functions managed by communities. Social forestry in Lampung can succeed if policies and regulations provide legal certainty regarding community rights to forest land.
Keywords: community rights, ecological justice, environmental ethics
