| Description | In the era of globalization in Indonesia we can witness how climate change, biodiversity reduction, and the lack of awareness in preserving cultural ecosystems will lead to the extinction of what traditions can bring forth in maintaining culture for sustainable development steps ahead. It is noted that in various regions of Indonesia, oral traditions are extremely close to extinction. This fact, however, also leads to the fact that several crucial aspects related to cognitive systems, traditional folk knowledge, religions, customs, traditional medical systems, ecologies, environmental preservation acts, and many other areas noted as the source of the nation’s identity and character are also heading toward extinction. One important factor in efforts to preserve oral traditions, such as storytelling, is the role of the maestro who not only tells stories, but at the same time preserves the local language as a vehicle for this tradition which is used when telling stories. | ||
