<![CDATA[Environmental damage demands a community service approach that is not only technical but also cultural and spiritual. This community service aims to strengthen the community's ecological awareness through the Saput Poleng Movement. Saput Poleng, as a symbol of Rwa bhineda, is not merely a religious ornament but a means of ecological education that teaches cosmic balance. This program was inspired by the Chipko Movement in India, which emphasizes tree preservation through collective action based on spiritual values. The community service method is implemented through participatory observation, installing Saput Poleng on large trees, outreach to the community and village youth, and dharma discourse on the relationship between humans and nature. The results of the activities show an increase in ecological awareness among the community, especially the younger generation, in understanding Hindu religious symbols as guidelines for environmental conservation. This movement also strengthens the spiritual identity of the local community, while presenting an integrative community service model that connects local wisdom with the global ecological spirit. Thus, the Saput Poleng Movement has proven relevant as a community service strategy oriented towards nature conservation, spirituality, and cultural sustainability.]]>
