Abstract
Environmental conservation is not all about physical preservation of our surroundings but also the development of the human components of the conservation. Only with the right mindset, conservation can be maintained and, in the end, sustainable. Conservation awareness has been a common theme for academics and environmental activists but it is not always the case for the common masses. This paper focuses on illustrating the challenges and strategies of planting the appropriate mindset of conservation to young generation in Indonesia. Most of examples and cases provided in this paper are taken from our experience in managing the university we currently work for.

Summary
Humans are changing the face and the composition of the planet but they are rarely aware of that fact. Human population accrue their 'local' destruction of the environment to the global level. The strange fact is that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) whose members are mostly advanced countries has dominated the world's waste generation. We call it strange because OECD countries are the ones who have the technology and upper hand understanding on conservation. Rooted from an education university, we realize that we do not have the same capacity of environmental research if we compare ourselves with other all-round universities which have environment major or green engineering major At first, it became our main obstacles of achieving our vision. There are eight main characters to developed in all faculties: inspiration, humanity, compassion, innovation, creativity, sportiveness, honesty and justice
