This research aims to examine the transformation of the education curriculum based on local wisdom in increasing environmental awareness in Indonesia. Using a qualitative research design with the analysis units of schools in Indonesia, this study involves in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis as a data collection technique. The main data sources consist of teachers, principals, and relevant curriculum documents. The data were analysed using a thematic approach to identify patterns related to the implementation of a curriculum based on local wisdom and their impact on students' environmental awareness. The findings of the study suggest that education based on local wisdom can improve students' understanding of the importance of environmental conservation, although challenges in implementation still exist, especially related to teacher training and resource limitations. The contribution of this research is to provide new insights into the importance of integrating local wisdom in the educational curriculum to support the improvement of environmental awareness in Indonesia, which can be applied more widely in all schools in Indonesia.
