ABSTRACT
Environmental damage is a common problem that must be addressed with real solutions and real evidence. One of the causes of environmental damage is the anthropocentric paradigm. This paradigm states that humans are the center of the universe; hence, humans have the right to exploit natural resources because nature was created for them. This article will reveal the preservation of the environment based on religion in the scriptures, including whether humans are the center of the universe or partner with nature. This article will also explore the concept of Qur’an-based nature conservation so that it can be used in real-world conservation efforts. This research uses qualitative research methods with a content analysis approach. The conclusion of this article suggests that man and nature are partners with different roles and goals with their fellow creatures of God's creation. Humans can use nature and the environment to meet their needs, but they must also conserve and prosper nature. Humans are given various potentials/abilities to prosper and conserve the earth.
