Ironically, there are some studies, showing that 45% of millennial generations are ignorant and unconcerned about their surrounding issues. This shows that the current learning process still needs improvement and renewal. This article aims to outline how important the science comic based on local wisdom in forming the environmental care and awareness character. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive which use interview techniques, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The validity test in this study uses a triangulation method that is descriptively-qualitatively analyzed. The results showed that the lack of learning media usage causes a low understanding of environmental care and awareness concept which is impactedon the lacking of environmental care and awareness character in students. The conclusion of this research is that science comic media based on local wisdom is needed to form the character of environmental care and awareness. Science comic can strengthen the concept of environmental care and awareness according to the development of elementary school students, while local wisdom in the form of punakawan puppets used as animated characters can provide good role models as well as forming the environmental care and awareness character. Moreover, there are no studies that study the concepts of science comic in association with local wisdom to form the character of environmental care and awareness in elementary school students.
