Penelitian ini membahas tentang kelestarian lingkungan pada Kampung Adat Sunda Kawasan Gunung Halimun Selatan. Kampung Adat Cengkuk adalah salah satu kampung pengikut yang mengikuti tradisi atau Kasepuhan Ciptagelar dalam pengelolaan lingkungan. Faktor dari dalam dan luar kampung menyebabkan deforestasi hutan alam rata-rata sekitar 6-8% per tahun. Pertambahan penduduk kampung mencapai rata-rata 5,35% per tahun dikategorikan sangat padat. Tradisi atau adat Kasepuhan masih dianut warga kampung dengan menjaga hutan tutupan (leuweung tutupan) di sebelah selatan Kampung hanya untuk kegiatan subsistensi. Perubahan sosio-kultur terjadi pada masyarakat dengan tidak melakukan kegiatan berladang di hutan (outer island agriculture)tetapi lebih kepada kegiatan bertani di sawah (wet rice cultivation). Pengurangan pada proses dan kegiatan upacara, yang semula delapan upacara daur ladang menjadi lima upacara daur sawah. Kegiatan yang profan lebih banyak pada pengembangan komoditas tanaman ekonomi di kebun-talun. Pola keruangan dalam aspek kelestarian lingkungan juga masih menempatkan posisi; gunung-pemukiman-sungai; kampung inti-kampung pengikut. Kampung yang secara geografis lebih tinggi memiliki tradisi yang lebih ketat dibandingkan dengan kampung yang lebih rendah.
