Abstract

Background: Mangrove environments play an essential function in coastal tidal areas. Petengoran mangrove forest is located in Gebang village, Teluk Pandan district, Pesawaran, Lampung province. Describe the ecological and ethnocentric conditions of the Petengora mangrove forest in Gebang village, linked to mangrove vegetation to facilitate forest maintenance, community empowerment, and community impacts on Petengoran mangroves. Methods: This research uses the transect method at three stations with four plots. Each plot had an area of 10 x 10 m2. Ethnocentric data collection was conducted using questionnaires and field observations. Results: INP of Rhizopora mucronata was the highest (300%). The station's overall diversity level (H') is medium. The specific richness index (R) of all stations is low. All stations' uniformity index (E) is high, as shown by findings from community interviews on ethnocentric elements of Petengoran mangrove ecotourism. The environmental conditions of the mangrove forests are relatively clean and maintained, and the infrastructure and ecotourism infrastructure are pretty adequate. Conclusions: Petengora mangroves are managed by farmers who create nurseries and plantations. This area is a mangrove reserve. The mangrove forest is considered a traditional place, but surrounding communities do not have any unique traditions.

Abstract

The world's elephant population is experiencing a significant decline and is a serious concern in conservation efforts. Conflicts between elephants and humans are becoming an increasingly widespread problem, especially on the island of Sumatra. This study aims to assess people's perceptions of elephant conflicts, the impacts and the education needed to increase public awareness of the importance of elephants. Through the literature study method, it is known that people's perception of elephant conflict tends to be negative, most people have the perception that elephants are crop pests and must be destroyed. The impact of conflicts between elephants and humans such as damage to agricultural land, death of elephants and humans, and damage to infrastructure. To realize a solution to this conflict, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive educational counseling to the community, such as the implementation of a moratorium on concession licensing, forest enrichment, the formation of effective patrol teams, technological support in monitoring forest changes, and socialization to surrounding communities about elephants. Collaboration between the government, communities, and non-governmental organizations will be beneficial in addressing human-elephant conflicts. With these efforts, it is hoped that disputes between elephants and humans can be minimized and the increasingly threatened elephant population will be maintained and sustainable.
