Bridging Islamic Character Education Based on Love and Ecology Among Students of Islamic Religious Education at Universitas Islam As'adiyah Sengkang, Indonesia
This article explores the integration of love-based Islamic character education and ecological awareness among students of the Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam) programme at Universitas Islam As'adiyah Sengkang, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Drawing on Islamic pedagogical principles, eco-theological frameworks, and empirical classroom observations, the study argues that the concept of rahmah (compassion) and khalifah (stewardship) provides a robust Islamic foundation for cultivating ecological consciousness as a dimension of moral character. The research demonstrates that love-based character education — grounded in the values of mercy, responsibility, and reverence for creation — can meaningfully bridge spiritual formation and environmental literacy when embedded in the PAI curriculum. Students who engage with eco-Islamic values show heightened environmental responsibility and deeper spiritual motivation for ecological action. The findings contribute to the growing discourse on Islamic environmental ethics and offer a contextually grounded model for character education reform in Indonesian Islamic higher education.

Mathematical Modelling of Ecosystem Dynamics in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, West Bengal, India
This article investigates the application of mathematical modelling to the ecological dynamics of the Sundarbans mangrove forest in West Bengal, India, one of the world's largest and most ecologically complex deltaic ecosystems. By integrating differential equation frameworks, population dynamics models, and spatial statistical approaches, the study demonstrates how mathematical tools can reveal patterns of species interdependence, carbon sequestration rates, and ecosystem resilience under conditions of tidal salinity fluctuation and anthropogenic pressure. The findings indicate that predator-prey models calibrated with field data from the Sundarbans can accurately simulate population oscillations of Bengal tigers, spotted deer, and key fish species, while logistic growth equations effectively capture mangrove regeneration dynamics following cyclonic disturbance. The study highlights the urgent need to embed mathematical ecology in conservation planning for the Sundarbans and contributes to the broader field of theoretical ecology by demonstrating the applicability of dynamic systems modelling in tropical intertidal environments facing accelerating climate-driven change.

Bridging Agriculture and Ecology: Toward Sustainable Land-Use Systems in Semi-Arid Regions
Agricultural systems and ecological processes are deeply interconnected, yet conventional farming practices have historically prioritized productivity at the expense of ecosystem integrity. This article explores the conceptual and practical convergence of agriculture and ecology, with a focus on semi-arid land-use contexts. Drawing on current literature and theoretical frameworks, we argue that agroecological principles offer a viable pathway to reconcile food production demands with environmental sustainability. Key themes include soil biodiversity, water-use efficiency, habitat fragmentation, and the role of indigenous land knowledge in shaping resilient farming systems. We further contend that policy frameworks must evolve to support landscape-level thinking rather than field-scale optimization alone. The discussion highlights three critical domains: soil ecology management, integrated pest and biodiversity strategies, and water-smart cropping systems. Collectively, these dimensions point toward an urgent need for transdisciplinary cooperation in redesigning agricultural landscapes that nurture, rather than deplete, ecological capital.

Bridging Traditions and Timelines: Local Communication, Indigenous Wisdom, and the Social Media Transformation in Rural Communities
This article examines the intricate relationship between local communication practices, indigenous wisdom (kearifan lokal), and the growing influence of social media platforms within rural and traditional communities. As digital technologies penetrate even the most geographically remote areas, questions arise about how deeply rooted cultural communication systems adapt, survive, or transform under the pressure of algorithmically driven platforms. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from communication studies, anthropology, and media sociology, this article argues that social media does not uniformly displace local communicative traditions; rather, it creates a complex negotiation space where indigenous knowledge is simultaneously preserved, reinterpreted, and sometimes commodified. The article highlights the dual role of social media as both a threat to and a vehicle for cultural continuity. By analyzing existing literature and conceptual frameworks, it calls for community-centered digital literacy programs that honor local epistemic values while embracing technological change.

Ecotheology in the Technological Era:Reinterpreting the Sacred Responsibility toward Nature
This article aims to reinterpret the concept of humanity’s sacred responsibility toward the Earth through an ecotheological approach in the technological era. The development of modern technology has created a paradox in the relationship between humans and nature: on the one hand, technology facilitates life and increases productivity; on the other hand, it accelerates resource exploitation and deepens the global ecological crisis. By integrating theological perspectives, environmental ethics, and a critique of the technocratic paradigm, this paper affirms that humans, as stewards (khalifah) of the Earth, possess a spiritual mandate to maintain cosmic balance rather than merely dominate nature. The method employed is a qualitative literature-based study using an interdisciplinary approach that connects religious texts, contemporary theological thought, and modern ecological discourse. The analysis focuses on reinterpreting sacred values within ecotheology in the context of digital transformation and industrialization. The findings indicate that ecotheology in the technological era requires a paradigm shift from anthropocentrism to theo-ecocentrism, in which technology is positioned as an ethical instrument that must be subordinated to the values of sustainability and ecological justice. This underscores that reconstructing ecological spiritual awareness is essential for building a sustainable civilization, by viewing the Earth not as an object of exploitation but as a divine trust that must be preserved for the continuity of life across generations.

This article explores how love-based curriculum frameworks, rooted in compassion, interconnectedness, and cultural values, can address pressing environmental challenges while strengthening community bonds in the region. Drawing upon recent scholarship, this discussion examines the theoretical foundations of love-based education and its practical applications in promoting ecological consciousness and sustainable practices. The article investigates two key dimensions: the role of love-based pedagogy in cultivating ecological awareness and its contribution to building sustainable communities. By synthesizing contemporary educational research with Southeast Asian cultural perspectives, this work demonstrates that love-based curriculum offers a culturally responsive pathway toward environmental stewardship and social cohesion. The findings suggest that educators and policymakers should consider love-based approaches as essential components of sustainable development initiatives in the region.
