Model Eco-Pesantren dalam Perspektif Konservasi Hutan
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin cinta alam lingkungan dengan implementasinya, semakin cinta kepada Tuhan dengan kebesarannya. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh pondok pesantren Al-Ittifaq yang berada di Dusun Ciburial, Desa Alamendah, Kecamatan Rancabali, Kabupaten Bandung Sealatan, Provinsi Jawa Barat; dengan aktivitas konservasi hutan yang berdampak pada relijiusitas dan manfaat sosio-ekonomis. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Pondok pesantren Al-Ittifaq telah menunjukkan hubungan harmonis tiga dimensi antara Tuhan-Manusia-Alam, sebagai basis teologi lingkungan, 2) Keberadaan pondok pesantren Al-Ittifaq dapat merubah dan mengikis pandangan antroposentris, ke biosentris dan ekosentris, yang berbasis teologi lingkungan Islam, 3) Konsepsi teologis lingkungan telah diimplementasikan dalam prinsip dan tradisi pemeliharaan hutan melalui asas-asas konservasi yang mampu memberi manfaat ekologi, ekonomi dan sosial. Dampak aktivitas konservasi hutan menyangkut banyak aspek, yaitu aspek ekologi berupa tangible (manfaat langsung yang dapat dirasakan) maupun intangible (manfaat tidak langsung), aspek ekonomi dan sosial, berupa kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat setempat.
