Abstract

Cenderawasih ecotourism management in Papua represents a strategic approach to conserving endemic species while enhancing local community livelihoods. In Amai, Tablasupa Village, Jayapura Regency, ecotourism development faces challenges related to legal status, cross-sector coordination, community participation, human resource capacity, funding, and program innovation. This study aims to formulate an effective, participatory, and sustainable institutional model for ecotourism management that supports habitat conservation and local economic empowerment. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key institutional elements, including legal frameworks, stakeholder coordination, community involvement, capacity building, funding mechanisms, transparency, and innovation. The findings indicate that successful ecotourism management depends on formal legal support through village regulations and government policies, strong cross-sector collaboration among government, communities, academics, and the private sector, and active community participation using a pentahelix approach. Strengthening human resource capacity, diversifying funding through partnerships, and integrating research-based environmental education enhance sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of local ecological knowledge into bird-of-paradise conservation strategies in the Tabi and Saireri customary areas. Using qualitative methods and an ethnographic approach, as well as case studies, the study aims to understand how local indigenous communities manage and conserve birds of paradise through local wisdom practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions with indigenous elders, traditional hunters, and other community members who play an active role in bird conservation. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify values, knowledge systems, and customary rules that support bird-of-paradise conservation. The results show that local ecological knowledge plays a significant role in maintaining the bird's habitat and regulating human activities that could potentially threaten the species' survival. This conservation strategy, based on local knowledge, considers not only ecological aspects but also social and cultural aspects, thus creating a sustainable and community-acceptable approach. These findings underscore the importance of integrating local knowledge into modern conservation policies for effective and sustainable conservation efforts. This study recommends that governments and conservation agencies better value and engage indigenous communities as strategic partners in natural resource management and biodiversity conservation, particularly for birds of paradise, in the Tabi and Saireri customary territories.
