Environmental changes can be affected by climate change, global warming, or disasters. They typically can lead to changes in the landscape, the ecosystem, and their natural habitat. Global warming is the process of an excessive increase in the Earth’s temperature. The cause is, of course, excessive greenhouse gases. Climate change is an extreme reaction to weather phenomena that negatively affect agricultural resources, water resources, human health, depletion of the ozone layer, vegetation, and soil, causing double the concentration of carbon dioxide in ecosystems. The dynamics of environmental change also occur due to industrial development in urban areas. There are also many changes in rural areas in Indonesia because many people are building houses in the village area. Villages considered having pollution-free air and a healthy environment. The environmental changes that occur also have an impact on biocultural changes. Therefore, the effort of maintaining balance and biocultural preservation is aimed at maintaining local wisdom in each region. Therefore, environmental change dynamics provide an opportunity to maintain the biocultural landscape while maintaining local wisdom in each region. Biocultural landscapes are interrelated holistic systems that have been formed by human management for a long time. In Indonesia several provinces have experienced disasters such as tsunami. Tsunami impacts sudden changes in the landscape, which will inevitably cause the population around the disaster site to adapt to survive. Likewise, animals and plants affected by disasters experience very significant changes. In a healthy biocultural landscape, pets are an extension of the human community, an essential part of the growing and ever-strengthening relationship between humans and the natural world. The knowledge and wisdom of indigenous groups have developed over the centuries and are interdependent with their natural environment. These are sometimes referred to as “indigenous,” “local,” or “cultural knowledge,” traditional knowledge, or local wisdom and are an understanding of nature, such as the nature of plants, animal behavior, ecosystem balance, and food and medicine. Medical problems are also sometimes related to ethnic issues in an area. Traditional knowledge is essential for the resilience of a biocultural system. Efforts to revitalize, share, respect, and implement these policies are critical for protecting biodiversity, preserving cultural heritage, maintaining global ecological health, and mitigating climate change. This chapter is aimed at describing the importance of local wisdom actions to restore post-tsunami conditions in an area in Aceh that affects the biocultural landscape in that location. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
