ABSTRACT
In the past, the relationship between humans and nature was generally anthropocentric, in which a man tended to exploit nature without making adequate efforts to preserve it. Such attitude constituted an ecological injustice that could lead to nature imbalances. To prevent this from materialising, a change in attitude toward nature is imperative, specifically from anthropocentric attitude to a more compassionate one, in which a person sees the world as a sanctuary where all inhabitants live under mutualistic symbiosis relationships. Through the application of the eco-spiritual ethics of Tri Hita Karana—the local equivalent to the eco-spiritual ethics of Henryk Skolimowski—this study examines the implementation of the concept and the challenges faced, in particular to the case of the mega investment involving the reclamation of Benoa Bay in Bali.
