This international mangrove conservation program implemented a Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approach at Cemara Beach, West Lombok, addressing 57% mangrove loss over the past decade. The collaboration between Universitas Mataram (Indonesia) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malaysia) engaged 35 participants (20 students, 13 lecturers, and 2 local farmers) in rehabilitating 0.5 hectares of degraded coastal area through strategic planting of 200 Rhizophora mucronata seedlings. The three-phase methodology included: (1) Pre-activity ecological surveys and stakeholder coordination, (2) Implementation combining theoretical training (mangrove ecology, planting techniques) and hands-on planting sessions with 1.5m spacing optimization, and (3) Post-activity evaluation through participant questionnaires and focus group discussions. Key innovations included experiential learning modules and the development of an Implementation Agreement for sustained institutional collaboration. Results demonstrated 82% seedling survival after 3 months, with 92% participant competency improvement in mangrove management. The program successfully integrated local knowledge (via "Relawan Mangrove" farmers' group) with academic expertise, creating a replicable model for coastal rehabilitation. Challenges identified included the need for extended training duration (recommended 50% longer) and enhanced safety protocols for future iterations. Strategic impacts aligned with SDGs 14 (Life Below Water) and 17 (Partnerships), establishing a transnational conservation network while enhancing community resilience. The initiative's success is documented through: (1) peer-reviewed publications in Jurnal Pengabdian Magister Pendidikan IPA, (2) institutional social media dissemination, and (3) formalized monitoring frameworks for long-term ecological assessment.
