Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to construct a theological foundation on biodiversity as a guide used to defend biodiversity sustainability. The method used is literature study that focuses on three things, namely biodiversity crisis and forests as a home for biodiversity (land), the voice of the Bible on biodiversity and its relationship with humans, and the importance of the fight for biodiversity sustainability. The condition of biodiversity is critical. Meanwhile, the Bible emphasizes that biodiversity is a creation that is highly valued and blessed by God. In addition, humans are God's co-creators who should strive for the health of biodiversity sustainability for the sake of the sustainability of all life on earth. As humans are connected and tied to biodiversity, they are a part of biodiversity.

 

Keywords: Biodiversity, creation, sacramental, sustainability.

 

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun sebuah landasan teologis mengenai biodiversitas dan menjadikannya sebagai petunjuk dalam upaya memperjuangkan keberlanjutan biodiversitas. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode studi literatur yang difokuskan pada tiga hal, yakni krisis biodiversitas dan hutan sebagai rumah biodiversitas (darat), suara Alkitab mengenai biodiversitas dan relasinya dengan manusia, serta pentingnya perjuangan bagi keberlanjutan biodiversitas. Kondisi biodiversitas sedang kritis. Sementara itu, Alkitab menekankan bahwa biodiversitas adalah ciptaan yang sangat dihargai dan diberkati Allah. Selain itu, manusia adalah co-creator Allah yang harusnya memperjuangkan dan mengupayakan keberlanjutan kesehatan biodiversitas demi keberlanjutan kehidupan bersama, dan karena terhubung dan terikat dengan biodiversitas, ia adalah kerabat biodiversitas.

 

Kata-kata kunci: Biodiversitas, ciptaan, sakramental, keberlanjutan.
