The secondary texts were the thoughts ofscientists who proposed the same themes. Then, this research used a qualitative analysis and hermeneuticapproach. This research also analyzed the reality of the existing natural environment. Relevant referencessupported it. The researcher constructed deep philosophical thoughts to find essential meanings and valuesabout the natural environment that humans need to develop.
