Strategi Pelestarian Alam Berbasis Kearifan Lokal dalam Program B3KL Tematik

Abstract

Environmental conservation is a shared responsibility that requires synergy among the government, community, and academics. In the B3KL thematic program in Desa Aik Bukaq, students act as agents of change by educating the community through an approach based on local wisdom. The tree planting revitalization program is carried out participatively by involving the community in all stages, from identifying environmental needs, selecting appropriate tree species, to post-planting maintenance. This approach, which combines scientific knowledge and local culture, successfully instills a strong sense of ownership and ecological awareness within the community. It shows that the success of environmental conservation heavily depends on active community involvement and the embedding of deep-rooted cultural values. This program serves as a best practice example of community-based environmental conservation that can be a model for other stakeholders.
