Environmental empathy can be viewed as a moral movement that aims to increase awareness and concern for various environmental problems and issues. This movement encourages changes in the behavior of people who were previously antipathic or indifferent to the environment to empathize with the environment. The purpose of this study is to know and analyze the reality of society in empathizing with the environment and the implementation of environmental empathy through local wisdom in Indonesia in the perspective of postmodernism which can also be a source of learning. This research uses a post-qualitative approach by conducting field research to various indigenous peoples. The results of this study can be understood as follows: (1) the reality of the community being able to maintain and empathize with the environment through the values of local wisdom that are still believed and carried out in everyday life so as to minimize problems or damage to the environment; (2) The implementation of environmental empathy through local wisdom in the perspective of postmodernism is carried out in various activities or traditions while still maintaining the previous culture that has an impact on environmental conservation. This view emphasizes the plurality of values and diverse views of society about the environment, but with a good goal of maintaining a balance of relations between humans and the environment (nature).
