The era of sustainable new environmental awakening is beginning to be seen in managing global karst areas. Sharp criticism of ecocentrism for anthropocentrists who have overexploited Karst has resulted in massive environmental damage. The ecosystem also feels losses in it. This research will reveal how to trace publications related to the sustainability of karst areas that are studied based on the perspective of ecocentrism ideology. The synthesis method of SLR uses PRISMA with the search string "Karst Environment" AND "Sustainability", "Karst" OR "Sustainability" AND "Ecocentrism", "Karst" OR "Sustainability" AND "Deep Ecology". The search focused on journals and conferences of proceedings indexed by Scopus, and the filtering results were used for 24 articles out of 407 related articles. The synthesis results show an increase in publications relevant to the sustainability of the karst environment based on the ideology of ecocentrism and various cases of karst management problems with an ecocentric approach. The distribution of relevant analyses is found in Asia, although other continents are also optimal for study. Challenges in disseminating the ideology of ecocentrism can be met through conservation, natural resource management, damage control, cultural values, environmental awareness through education, and ecocentrism regulations or policies. The existence of the karst sustainability movement and global ecocentrism policy can have implications for realizing the harmony of ecosystems, both biotic and abiotic, in the future. ©2025 The authors.
