Environmental Conservation Efforts Through Strengthening Family Ecology Based on AlQuran

Abstract

Environmental pollution and damage is an unavoidable phenomenon today. Wahana Lingkungan Hidup (WALHI) noted that the earth's temperature is currently experiencing an increase of 1.1 degrees centigrade, carbon dioxide emissions also continue to grow, forests are reduced due to the large number of mining areas and oil palm plantations. According to the 2018 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), Indonesia continues to lose 650,000 hectares of forest every year. The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) also noted that throughout 2020 there were 2925 disasters in Indonesia, including floods, landslides, tornadoes, forest fires. Apart from these thousands of disasters, one important thing that is no less destructive is the awareness to reduce the use of plastic. Plastics continue to be used in everyday life because the material is not derived from biological compounds. Plastic has the property of being difficult to degrade (non-biodegradable). Plastic is estimated to take 100 to 500 years to decompose completely. Plastic bag waste can pollute soil, water, sea, and even air. This paper will outline how family ecology plays an important role in Quran-based environmental conservation.
