Environment and conservation – What is the environment? A fundamental question must be answered before you proceed further about environmental conservation. Environment is a living space that comprises several components that interact with each other in balance. The process of interaction is caused by the different functions of each of each individual living beings and strive to preserve and defend the existence and function. Components contained in the spheres of life are:

1. The physical environment (inorganic), an environment that consists of cosmic forces and fisigeografis: earth, air, water, radisai, gravity, waves and so on.

2. Environmental biology (organic), everything that is biotic

3. Social environment, consisting of:

• Fisiososial, ie covering the material culture: tools, weapons, machinery, buildings and so on

• Biososial man, not man, the man and his neighbor and the interaction of domestic animals and plants and all the materials used by humans are derived from organic sources.

• Psychosocial, which is associated with the inner nature of man, such as attitudes, views, desires, beliefs. This can be seen from the customs, religion, ideology, language and others.

4. Composite environment, which is regulated institutional environment, in the form of public institutions

With the above understanding of the environment, the environmental protection is the preservation of the components of the environment and its inherent functions and interactions that occur between these components. The discrepancies between the components and utilization functions in development, the preservation is not understood as a restricted use. However, conservation should be understood as the utilization of the notice function of each component and interactions between components of the environment and in the end, it is hoped will provide environmental protection guarantees the existence of the individual components of the environment. With the guarantee of existence, a sustainable environment can be realized.

Environmental protection that have been made by many parties during this show a lot of success and not a few who experience barriers in achieving the objectives to be achieved in each aspect. Such efforts are more visible as a stand-alone movements in each location, and environmental aspects of the case at hand. In addition, conservation efforts that have been implemented less perceived benefits / usefulness both in the medium and long term.

Likewise, the preservation of the environment that has been done by the Student Nature Lovers over the years, more emphasis on the call to do something better or banned for doing something that is considered harmful to the environment. Appeal after appeal had been shouted and repeated each year by the Nature Lover and others. However, it should be recognized there are still many deficiencies that resulted in no realization of the objectives to be achieved, namely the form of conservation efforts undertaken are still sporadic and not integrated with other parts. This is the weak point of call is echoed by Lovers of Nature, or in other words no more effort than simply a moral movement.

Therefore, in the future so that preservation of the environment are encouraged to change the moral movement into a social movement. Social movements in environmental conservation is defined as a series of conservation efforts that emphasize the social order and orderly implementation with a view to realizing the existence of environmental components and their interactions. Emphasizes social order in compliance perpetrators of environmental protection guidelines existing social, developed and recognized by the local community as well as proven capable of maintaining environmental functions.

Orderly implementation of the stresses on the basis of ideal rights used in environmental protection, that every effort is based on reasons that are scientifically recognized truth. Therefore become an important part of research activity in the circuit implementation of environmental preservation. On the basis of research results, stages of environmental protection in accordance with (different) conditions for each environmental component. Thus, both failure and success of the conservation of the environment can be evaluated for the sake of the future.
