In adapting to its environment, the Java community develops ideas which refers to the balance, synchronization, harmony, and unity. About the climate environment, the Java community divides the climate into four seasons, and each season is given symbol or symbols of Pancamahabhuta elements according to their natural phenomena, namely rendheng with symbol of Tirta (water), and Labuh with symbol of agni (fire), katiga with symbol of Maruta (wind), and Mareng with symbol of Bantala (ground). The above description shows that the human being is so close to the universe; so the human and the universe is a unity. Java community sees that the human (society), nature (the world), and a supernatural realm is not the three areas of relatively stand-alone and each has its own law, but is a unity. It can be connected with Koentjaraningrat opinion that: According to Agami Jawa conception, God is a whole in the natural world, which is denoted by a God creature so small that every time can be entered into the hearts of people; but God as lake as big and broad as the ocean, endless and stems like space, and consists of all the colors in the world. That is the view that is ‘pantheistis’ in Java community about God. According Zoetmulder, pantheistis view is that “everything is God” and “everything to the Lord”. • Linking Conservation to local Beliefs and cultural stories The existing beliefs and cultural stories held within Java Society based on the “Wayang” puppet story in which seasons and natural events feature strongly and remind people of Tirta (water), fire (agni), wind (Moruta) and earth or ground (Bantala) remind local people of their unity with society and nature. All these beliefs have their contribution to make to modern biodiversity conservation.
