description Climate change and environmental degradation pose global threats, requiring indigenous knowledge and practices like the Tapsila tradition in North Lombok, Indonesia. This research examines the Tapsila customs as a representation of transformation in information communication and education, using Donal Carbaugh’s naturalizing culture theory. The ethnographic approach is used, with in-depth interviews and participatory observation of rituals and environmental management practices. The study aims to capture the complexity of meaning in the Tapsila customs and their role in conserving the environment. The Tapsila tradition, a traditional wisdom of the Wetu Telu community, offers a comprehensive approach to sustainable environmental management. It encompasses customs governing the relationship between humans, deity, and nature. The method of land clearing involves four ngelokaq, including the pemangku, jintaka, penghulu, and mekel. The leader conducts a site inspection termed “ menjango” to ascertain suitable areas for establishing rice fields. The caretaker and village chief determine rituals and allocate water supply. Customary law is enforced, and infractions result in sanctions. This tradition integrates spiritual, socio-cultural, and ecological dimensions, aiming to establish a comprehensive approach to climate change while respecting indigenous knowledge. Communication functions as a conduit between local knowledge and modernization, promoting direct engagement of the younger generation in traditional practices.
