This research aims to analyze the environmental impact on used goods business activities in Pagar Dewa Village, Bengkulu City, by referring to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) regulations from an Islamic economic perspective. This study specifically uses the maslahah murrasa approach in fiqh rules as the main analytical framework. The research method used is field research with a qualitative approach. The research results show that there are a number of problems related to the responsibility of second-hand goods entrepreneurs towards environmental aspects. Entrepreneurs in the area are known to set up businesses in residential areas, which results in air and environmental pollution. This pollution has a direct impact on the surrounding community, which experiences continuous disturbances in the form of unpleasant odors. Until now, no concrete solution has been found by entrepreneurs to overcome this problem. In a review of Islamic economics, it was found that business actors have not fully complied with Islamic principles regarding environmental management and preservation. Based on the analysis of natural resources and the environment from an Islamic perspective, the Al-Istislah concept and the approach to the basic objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Syari'ah) should be the main guidelines for business actors in maintaining a balance between economic benefits and environmental preservation.

Community-based sustainable tourism emphasizes local participation and environmental preservation, yet effective marketing strategies remain underexplored, particularly for niche destinations like cave-based tourism. This study aims to analyze the marketing strategies of Buniayu Cave in Kertaangsana Village, Sukabumi Regency, identify factors influencing their effectiveness, and propose a model for sustainable tourism development. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, with data analyzed through the Political, Economic, Social, and Technological framework. Findings reveal that community involvement in promotional content creation enhances authenticity and increases local income by 15–20%, while value-based pricing supports economic empowerment. However, the absence of formal institutional partnerships and reliance on manual reservation systems limit promotional reach and operational efficiency. The proposed three-phase model, foundation, market growth, and industry outcomes, integrates these factors to drive customer engagement and sustainability, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals for decent work, sustainable communities, and responsible consumption. In conclusion, formal partnerships, professional training, and digital system upgrades are essential to optimize Buniayu Cave’s marketing, offering a scalable framework for community-based cave tourism that balances economic growth with environmental and cultural preservation.

News outlets across the world present a common assessment of the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil: it is exponentially rising, at a record rate1. In this context, it may be surprising to note that, the protection of the environment is fundamental to the constitutional framework of Brazil, with the provision that ‘everyone has the right to an ecologically balanced environment, common good of the people and essential to the healthy quality of life, imposing on the public sector and the community the duty to defend and preserve it for present and future generations’ (Art. 225, Federal Constitution of Brazil). In this provision, the environment, when balanced and thus preserved, enables the promotion of quality of life for present and future generations. This intergenerational dimension brings to light the notion of sustainable development. This concept integrates development – which, for the Brazilian economist and intellectual Celso Furtado, embraces a unique social project related to the non-depreciation of labour and of natural resources, not reducible to mere economic growth – and sustainability – which includes social, environmental, territorial, economic, cultural, ecological and political criteria2. In the constitutional instrument, the duty of environmental defence and preservation is imposed on the public sector and on the community. In relation to the public sector, this protection can be achieved by legislative methods, through infraconstitutional instruments; by the judiciary, though judicial demands; and by the executive – the President, their ministries and secretaries. Regarding the community, such protection can be collectively supported by social groups: for example, associations and trade unions. Environmental protection dismantled As is widely reported, the Brazilian executive has played a central role in the recent escalation of destruction of the Amazon. For the current government, elected in October 2018 and in power since January 2019, the objective of economic growth is regarded as irreconcilable with environmental preservation – particularly from the perspective of expanding the agricultural frontier and agribusiness – resulting in attacks on existing laws and restructuring of the Ministry of Environment. Consequently, the resolutions implemented since January 2019 pertinent to environmental policy demonstrate the relativisation of the preservation of the environment and, above all, of ecosystems such as the Amazon. In the government’s dismantling of the existing system of protection, certain measures have been critical: the abolition of the Secretariat of Climate Change and Forests in the Ministry of the Environment; the transfer of the Brazilian Forest Service from the Ministry of the Environment to the Ministry of the Agriculture; the blocking of funds for fire-fighting and enforcement, leading to a substantial drop in the number of operations and, consequently, fines imposed; the considerable reduction of CONAMA (National Environmental Council) advisors; the dismissal and precarious replacement of state overseers of IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources); and the abolition of the Amazon Fund Steering Committee. Statements made by the government seeking to discredit entities dedicated to environmental research, such as the INPE (National Institute for Space Research) monitoring system, or relativise the problem of the lack of environmental protection, are also taking their toll. In order to diminish and distract from legitimate environmental concerns, the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, along with his ministers, have stated that alarming data on deforestation are nothing more than fake news and sensationalism. Recently President Bolsonaro stated that deforestation and forest fires are ‘cultural’ and ‘will never end’3. Given this situation, it is not surprising that the estimated deforestation rate in the nine states constituting the Amazônia Legal (‘Brazil’s Legal Amazon’, the region of Brazil in the Amazon basin) increased nearly thirty percent from August 2018 to July 20194. This rate represents the deforestation of an area of 9.762 km2, equivalent to a little less than one third of the total area of Belgium. The conduct of the federal government demonstrates that, despite the escalation in the rate of deforestation, the Executive intends to neither end nor hinder this phenomenon. The logic underpinning the dismantling of Brazilian environmental policy has no concern for present or future generations. Unions’ defence of the rainforest According to the aforementioned constitutional provision, the duty of defence and preservation of the environment does not end with the public sector – although its action clearly...

Globalization has become an important phenomenon in economic development and environmental preservation. This article aims to investigate the influence of globalization on these two important aspects, namely economic development and environmental preservation. In the context of economic development, globalization has provided significant opportunities and challenges. In recent years, globalization has opened the door for countries to engage in broader international trade, foreign direct investment, and technology transfer. The empirical studies conducted in this article show that countries that have been able to capitalize on these opportunities have experienced rapid economic growth. However, globalization can also create economic disparities between countries and increase the risk of vulnerability to global economic crises. Therefore, wise management of globalization becomes very important to achieve sustainable economic development. In addition, globalization also has a significant impact on environmental preservation. Globalization facilitates the exchange of goods and services across national borders, but it also accelerates the process of uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources. This article examines the relationship between globalization and environmental degradation, focusing on deforestation, pollution and climate change. Case studies show that increased international trade has had a negative impact on ecosystems and biodiversity in several regions. However, this article also identifies strategies that can be adopted to promote sustainable economic development and environmental preservation in tandem, such as stringent environmental policies, green technology innovation, and international cooperation. Thus, this article concludes that globalization has a complex influence in the field of economic development and environmental preservation. While globalization can provide significant economic opportunities, the challenges of managing its negative impact on the environment must also be addressed effectively. The integration of economic development policies and environmental preservation is the key to achieving sustainable growth and ecological balance in the era of globalization

Tourism development in Indonesia is increasing, as it is beneficial to the the social, cultural, educational, environmental and economic sectors of the country. In maintaining the sustainability of tourism, the government optimizes business in the field of ecotourism. Ecotourism as an environmentally friendly tourism can have a positive impact in the form of economic improvement, conservation, education, environmental preservation and empowerment of local communities. One ecotourism that has always been a magnet for tourists today is the Nature Tourism Park (TWA) Ijen Crater. Ijen Crater is a nature conservation area with diverse natural potential and is used as a nature conservation park. This study discusses the analysis of environmental damage prevention in the Ijen Crater Nature Park. A qualitative descriptive research approach with data collection techniques through primary data and secondary data was applied. The data were analyzed with data collection analysis, reduction, presentation and data verification. The results of this study are the natural potential of Ijen Crater TWA including the Ijen crater lake, blue fire, sulfur mining, vegetation and animals, Paltuding fun trekking, and Bunder cottage. The environmental conditions of tourist objects and attractions in Ijen Crater TWA are still in a good stage because the manager continues to strive to supervise and protect the tourist objects and attractions. The results of the analysis were interpreted by applying literary research of two regulations, namely UU No.32 of 2009 and UU No.10 of 2009. The result showed that there were three indicators that were not in accordance with UU No.10 of 2009 on Tourism, including the implementation of principles; coordination; and rights, obligations and prohibitions. The efforts to prevent enviromental damage can be done by dividing the area blocks, designing the site and disseminating information to tourists.

The Pesanggrahan Dalem Paku Buwono IX (PB IX) is situated in Langenharjo Village, Sukoharjo Regency, Indonesia. The site was founded in 1870 by PB IX (1830-1893), but it is currently facing environmental degradation, despite its past pristine water and natural hot springs. However, with the new management takeover by GPH Wicaksono, a descendant of the Surakarta Royal Family, there is hope for the conservation of this heritage site. This research explores servant leadership practices within the cultural context of GPH Wicaksono as the manager of heritage site in Langenharjo village. Drawing on Greenleaf's servant leadership principles, it examines how Javanese culture, and the wisdom of the manager can foster collective engagement in environmental preservation. The study aimed to provide valuable insights into leadership's role in promoting sustainability for the heritage site and the local community. The identification of servant leadership implementation in the heritage site was using a qualitative approach. Data collection involves on-site observations and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, including community leaders, members of the community, and cultural enthusiasts. The data is analyzed using phenomenology analysis to identify specific servant leadership behaviors of site manager and their role in fostering environmental preservation and sustainability within the community. The study's findings showed that the manager is dedicated to preserving the heritage site by promoting strong ties with Javanese culture and tradition. He encourages an eco-friendly mindset and collective participation to sustainably protect the environment. He also values effective communication and respects his colleagues, which in turn fosters trust and empowerment among the team. By following principles of Javanese culture, he leads and empowers communities toward environmental sustainability. This study contributes to the importance of incorporating cultural values in leadership practices to foster collective engagement and green awareness for long-term environmental preservation. It serves as an initial study for further research using quantitative analysis to deepen our understanding of servant leadership’s effectiveness in diverse cultural contexts.

Montenegro is constitutionally declared as an ecological country, and it is committed to sustainable development with the preservation of a healthy environment, biodiversity, preservation and improvement of the quality of water, sea, air, soil, space, and other natural resources for generations to come. Today, the field related to the environment and its protection is regulated by a series of sector-specific laws. However, in accordance with the principle that criminal law is the ultima ratio for the protection of certain social values, and with its fragmentary character, protecting the environment through criminal law represents the last line of defense. In this sense, this paper pays special attention to the protection of the environment through criminal law in accordance with the legal solutions in the criminal legislation of Montenegro. Criminal acts that belong to the chapter on criminal offenses against the environment and spatial planning provide protection to the environment, that is, the right to a healthy environment. In this sense, through the provisions of the general and special parts of the Criminal Code of Montenegro, a critical analysis of certain criminal offenses that belong to the chapter on criminal offenses against the environment and spatial planning was conducted. In the paper, other important issues regarding the protection and preservation of the environment were addressed and critically analyzed, as well as the importance of the criminal law instruments of protection in this regard. At the very end, it is noted that although Montenegro harmonized its national criminal legislation in this field to the greatest extent in 2010 with European and international standards and practice, certain problems in the field of practical application still exist, while the expected results are absent.
