Abstract:
The growing impact of environmental disruption on ongoing global conditions and even becomes a special concern in the dominant issues of various countries; is making the need for a review of various fields such as the legal, social, and even religious fields. While, on the other hand, the community has also started to take notice of that matter by establishing an environmental movement such as the Bangka Environment Creative Activist of “Kawa” (BECAK) Community, which is a local community that cares about the environment and is formed by youth religious groups in Bangka Regency. The youths argued that to increase the value of goodness, it must not only be vertical but also horizontal, one of which is by preserving the environment so that it remains balanced and beneficial for human survival. From that, this study looked at how the environmental movement can continue sustainably and what steps they should take to mobilize groups that remain consistent in saving the environment. Until this study becomes appropriate when studied with the theory of resource mobilization from social movements to see the BECAK community.
