<![CDATA[The short story "Menari di Puncak Beringin" by Budi Dayak Kurniawan tells the story of the closeness of the figure of me and his family to the natural environment of Central Kalimantan. Through the banyan tree symbol, the short story illustrates that the Dayak people of Central Kalimantan are very close to nature not only physically but also related to their philosophies of life. The problem in this study is how the relationship between humans and nature is described in the short story. The theoretical framework applied in this research is literary ecocritical theory. Based on an ecocritical analysis it can be concluded that the short story "Menari di Puncak Beringin" not only illustrates the closeness of humans with nature but also shows the relationship between nature and the philosophy of life of the Dayak people of Central Kalimantan. The short story also conveys criticism of natural management which is now more oriented to production forests by eliminating natural forests that are rich in local wisdom..]]>
