Echological perspective is a significant issue nowdays because there are many kind of disaster around us stimulated by echological disturbance. Actually, we have traditional knowledge and wisdom to sustain the nature and protect it. This point of view is usually melt in mithological scene and traditional ritual. This is also showed in the society around Wonosadi forest. Here, I wanto to describe the society profile around Wonosadi forest, explain the society view of the Wonosadi forest existence, explore the echological wisdom, formulate the concept of relationship between man, God and the universe, to reflect the future, and to show this way of life as an organistic-holistic concept. The society around Wonosadi forest, almost of them are farmers, some of them educated, with advanced social organization. Most of them are Moslem, some of them are Hindus, with mithological beliefs. The biggest of the mithological belief is connected with Wonosadi forest exsistence. This belief supports an echological wisdom in function and forest sustainability. This wisdom is implied by the society point of view of the relation between man, God and the universe. Man should thank to God by praying and serve a good conduct to the universe. There are all one of the global system that connecting each other. This point of view must be a combination between spiritualistic and rasionalistic understanding. This thought shows an organistic-holistic point of view.
