<![CDATA[Abstract This paper explores local wisdom as a source of knowledge that is not merely regarded as "mystical logic" or a mystical belief difficult to prove scientifically, but also as collective values beneficial for addressing social and environmental issues. Local wisdom, encompassing knowledge passed down through generations, plays a vital role in environmental management, cultural identity preservation, and community welfare improvement. Integrating local wisdom into education is believed to enrich learning experiences, support cultural preservation, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Examples of local wisdom, such as the Alam Takambang Jadi Guru concept in Minangkabau and the sasi system in Maluku, demonstrate that these values can promote environmental conservation, resource management, and strengthen social relationships. The main challenges faced by local wisdom, such as resistance from younger generations and the pressures of modernization, underscore the importance of adaptive strategies to maintain its relevance and effectiveness. In conclusion, local wisdom not only reflects mystical logic but also embodies essential values such as togetherness, spirituality, moral codes, and self-reliance that are relevant to sustainable community development and offer significant contributions to addressing global challenges]]>
