wisdom is the indigenous wisdom or knowledge of a
society derived from the noble value of cultural
traditions to govern the life order of society
(Sibarani, 2014: 113).
Haji Anif Shah home yard was large enough in
the area of Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta. It was also
becomes so cool and humid. There was a mango tree
with many fruit and bushy. But he forbade anyone to
pick them, because according to him it is a ration of
bats and wild birds that often perch, just looking for
oasis in the middle of the arid metropolitan capital of
the capital. "Those who fall to the ground, it can
only be taken", said Haji Anif Shah every time
anyone wants to take the Mango. In the past, Haji
Anif Shah's house was planted with shady mango
trees and invited species of birds and bats. Due to
the longer the more birds come, their need for
mangoes is not sufficient so that Haji Anif has the
idea to give them additional food such as bananas
and papayas. He always give time to do his hobby to
keep plant and animal.
He has been very familiar with the existence of
animals that currently live in the location of Taman
Burung Cemara Asri. As Munarriz (2011) stated that
wherever they live, humans will take a natural
position based on their culture. It will form a
landscape that coincides with the growing culture
that he has. By realizing the landscape that he has,
Haji Anif Shah hope the existence of fish ponds and
birds can contribute in education besides
entertainment for the community. Especially for
people who have a longing like him. When people
miss the beauty of nature, this place able to give
their needs of nature scape. When a concept of the
green earth is still shaped rhetoric, Haji Anif has
made it happen.
Kroeber & Kluckhohn (1952) defines value as a
conception, explicitly or implicitly, a special feature
of a person or group of people, about the things
desired which influence the selection of the various
means, tools, purposes of deed available. The
orientation of cultural values is an organized general
conception, which affects behaviour related to
nature, human positions in nature, people's
relationships with people and about desirable and
undesirable things that may be related to
relationships between people and the environment
and fellow human beings.
3.2 The Landscape of Taman Burung
Cemara Asri
In his book, Haji Anif told the formation process of
Taman Burung Cemara Asri. The story began when
he was with his friend Mujianto. They initiated to
build a pond in the housing Cemara Asri, Medan. So
both of them realize the idea directly. In the same
year, a plot of land in the middle of the housing was
formed a step by step. It needed long time to meet
the finish. Of course this is not a small pond, Haji
Anif Shah and Mujianto prepare a land of
approximately 6.8 hectares.
At that time, these two entrepreneurs,
presumably ignoring the cost of such a vast value. If
you think short, according to Haji Anif Shah land
this area if sold will certainly generate a lot of
money. As entrepreneurs who essentially love the
green, flora and fauna, of course Haji Anif Shah has
consideration of love that is not measured by
numbers. Especially at that time, Haji Anif Shah
hope this pond can be a balancer green environment
in the housing. In addition, it can also be a stretch of
scenic scenery.
Hope is not in vain. Currently the pond has
become the habitat of thousands of birds and several
other species of animals. The birds in the Taman
Burung Cemara Asri are the birds that settle and
breed in the location. The total number of birds is
estimated to reach more than 12,000 birds. There are
at least 12 species of birds that are commonly
encountered in this location, such as Cangak Merah
(Ardea purpurea), Cangak Abu (Ardea cinerea),
Kuntul Kerbau (Bulbucus ibis), Kuntul Kecil
(Egretta garzetta), Kuntul Besar (Casmerodius
albus), Kowak Malam Abu (Nycticorax nycticorax),
Raja-Udang Erasia (Alcedo atthis), Belibis Batu
(Dendrocygna javanica), Kerak Ungu (Acridotheres
tristis), Kareo Padi/Ruak-ruak (Amauromis
phoenicurus), Mandar Batu (Gallinula chloropus)
and Manda Besar (Porphyrio porphyrio).
Some of the other animals that occupy the pool
are snakes and Biawak. There was a two meter long
python found in this pond. Both types of reptiles,
often disturbing the presence of birds. Biawak and
snakes often prey eggs and birds so pool managers
thought that they needed to control the food chains
in the habitat of this pond. Snakes and Biawak are
hunted and some species of fish are sown for the
feeding of birds. This step is an effort to maintain
the balance of bird populations.
Finally, visitors not only enjoy the natural
scenery and birds only, but also fish that were
originally as a bird food. They also become special
entertain for visitors. The different types of fish such
as goldfish, tilapia, catfish and Gurame, are an
additional attraction and add the natural nuances of
fun and entertaining visitors for them who come to
this place. From some informants, the authors also
