Abstract:
This article aims to describe how an anthropocentric perspective can lead to an ethical solution to
resolving the ecological crisis. The ecological crisis should be seen as a misrepresentation of the role of
human beings in exceeding the limits of environmental exploitation as mandated in Islam. Therefore,
education should be used in offering solutions and innovations in the various scholarly disciplines, such
as social studies. One innovation is the use of poetry as a learning resource for social studies. Poetry
exploration is devoted to utilizing the value of local poetry. A qualitative approach is used to describe a
value-based social studieslearning concept. Thisstudyfocuses onthe poemofHuma Yang Perih, which
describes agricultural conditions in South Kalimantan that have begun to be abandoned by farmers.
Even though the poem was published in 1978, this condition has persisted to this day. Through Huma
Yang Perih, it is hoped that we can reflect on the importance of human continuity at all times, so that
humanity no longer underestimate the changing lifestyles rural people and their migration to cities.
Keywords: Ecological crisis; Poetry; Social studies learning resources.
