摘要：Children must be brought closer to nature and the environment, in order to grow the habit of respecting nature so that it takes root into the character of loving the environment. One of them is through fiction books. Fiction written especially for children is an interesting medium to convey ecosophy values and care for the environment. Indonesian children's fiction is a children's fiction that raises many issues of nature and the environment. Not only the physical environment but also the social and cultural environment. This article aims to 1) describe human respect for nature in Indonesian children's fiction; and 2) classifying forms of human respect for nature in Indonesian children's fiction based on various indicators. This study is an eco-critical study that uses a model of environmental wisdom (environmental ethics). Data in the form of texts and discourses were obtained from several selected children's fictions by Indonesian writers. Based on the analysis, it was found that the attitude of respect for nature in Indonesian children's fiction is shown through texts containing human awareness to respect nature, awareness that nature has value in itself, awareness that nature has the right to be respected, awareness that nature has integrity so that it needs to be respected. On the other hand, it was found that human respect for nature in Indonesian children's fiction is not only motivated by self-awareness but is also influenced by other factors, namely culture such as myths, customs and certain beliefs.
