Strengthening Local Community Participation for Coral Reef Ecosystem Conservation: A Wisdom-Based Approach
Dr. St. Laksanto Utomo, Dr. Lenny Nadriana
Abstract: The degradation of coral reef ecosystems is primarily caused by excessive exploitation without sustainable practices. As an archipelagic nation, Indonesia possesses vast coastal resources, necessitating urgent conservation efforts. This research highlights the importance of strengthening local community participation, particularly throughout traditional wisdom-based conservation methods such as awig-awig and sasi. By integrating local knowledge into policy frameworks, communities can actively participate in ecosystem preservation while ensuring sustainable livelihood. This study underscores the significance of incorporating indigenous practices in marine conservation policies to enhance ecological resilience and economic stability.
