Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are invaluable coastal habitats that provide essential ecological services and support diverse flora and fauna. However, human activities have increasingly threatened the sustainability of these ecosystems, particularly in regions like Coastal Sulawesi, Indonesia. This qualitative analysis investigates the impact of human activities on mangrove conservation in Coastal Sulawesi, employing semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The study reveals that drivers such as aquaculture expansion, unsustainable logging, pollution, and coastal development are contributing to mangrove degradation. Stakeholder perspectives vary, with local communities emphasizing the importance of mangroves for livelihoods and culture, while government officials stress the need for balancing conservation with economic development. Existing conservation efforts include protected area designation, community-based management projects, and awareness-raising campaigns. Collaborative action involving government, NGOs, academia, and local communities is essential to promote sustainable mangrove conservation in Coastal Sulawesi.

Abstract

Indonesia’s transition to renewable energy is a pivotal aspect of its strategy to achieve sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study evaluates the impact of green energy policies on renewable power plant investments in Indonesia through a comparative analysis of solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower projects. Using data from 2015 to 2024, the study examines the effectiveness of feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and renewable energy mandates in driving investments. The results show that while policies like feed-in tariffs and tax incentives have significantly boosted investment in geothermal and hydropower projects, solar and wind energy sectors face challenges such as low tariff rates and infrastructure deficits. Comparative insights from successful international cases underscore the need for policy stability, grid expansion, and technology-specific strategies. This research provides actionable recommendations to optimize Indonesia’s green energy framework, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable renewable energy sector.
