Green Transformation in Islamic Education Institutions: Eco-Pesantren Innovation in Shaping Santri's Environmental Care Character

The Eco-Pesantren program comes as a strategy to create a clean, healthy, and environmentally friendly pesantren ecosystem. This study aims to analyze innovations in the implementation of the Eco-Pesantren program and its contribution to the formation of environmentally friendly santri characters at Pesantren Darunnajah Bogor. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach through a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The main informants include pesantren managers, educators, and students who are actively involved in environmental conservation activities. The data analysis technique refers to the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and verification and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Eco-Pesantren program effectively fosters the character of students who care about the environment through various activities such as waste management, recycling practices, organic farming, ecoliteracy training, and pesantren garden management. The values of Islamic teachings, especially the concept of khalifah fil ardh (caretaker of the earth), strengthen the internalization of ecological awareness among santri. The positive impact of this program is reflected not only in the daily behavior of santri, but also in their increased contribution to the surrounding social environment.
