Abstract

The Kendari Bay mangrove ecosystem has an important role in maintaining the balance of coastal and marine ecosystems, especially as a natural protector from coastal erosion and seawater abrasion, as well as a habitat for various flora and fauna. However, these ecosystems continue to face pressure from human activities, such as deforestation for ponds, reclamation, and coastal development, which are exacerbated by climate change. This community service aims to increase awareness of mangrove sustainability in Kendari Bay, by involving religious extension workers and youth organizations. This activity included socialization about the importance of mangrove conservation and the planting of 300 mangrove seedlings in the area. Religious extension workers, as pioneers in the community, have an important role in spreading a culture of caring for the environment. Similarly, youth organizations act as agents of change that promote the values of environmental care among members and the wider community. Through the collaboration between Halu Oleo University, the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Southeast Sulawesi, and the Ansor Youth Movement, this program is expected to be able to create conservation cadres and build a culture of caring for the environment. This effort not only focuses on mangrove planting, but also integrates religious and youth values in conservation practices. Thus, this program contributes to the preservation of sustainable mangrove ecosystems in Kendari Bay

Abstract

The objective of this community service activity was to improve the understanding of fifth-grade students at SD 92 Kendari regarding the medicinal plant Melaleuca cajuputi through an ecotourism education programme at the Halu Oleo University Botanical Garden. The methods used included presenting material on the benefits of medicinal plants, particularly cajuput, as well as direct observation of cajuput trees in the botanical garden. The activity also involved explanations from the botanical garden managers regarding biodiversity and the importance of preserving medicinal plants. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in students' knowledge of the medical and ecological benefits of cajuput. Before the activity, most students only knew white wood as a mild medicinal product, but after participating in the activity, 85% of students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the medical benefits of white wood, including its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. Additionally, students developed an awareness of the importance of preserving medicinal plants and biodiversity. This eco-tourism-based educational activity proved effective in increasing students' interest in environmental conservation and introducing them to sustainability concepts. These findings underscore the importance of developing botanical gardens as educational centres that can support environmental conservation and the preservation of medicinal plants for a better future.
