Amiluhur is best known as a co-author of the critically acclaimed environmental history book, "32 Tahun Menjarah Alam" (32 Years of Plundering Nature). Alongside co-authors A.S. Rimbawana and Putro Wasista, his writing reflects deeply on the legacy of Indonesia's New Order era (1966–1998), exploring how aggressive state-driven development and resource extraction left lasting wounds on the archipelago's environment.
