<![CDATA[This study analyzes the impact of commodity conversion on sedimentation in the Kr. Peuto River. The transition from cocoa and rubber plantations to oil palm plantations has significantly increased erosion rates, leading to higher sediment deposition in the watershed. Contributing factors include changes in plantation commodities, rainfall intensity, and soil characteristics. The findings emphasize the importance of conservation strategies such as agroforestry-based land management, soil cover vegetation, and improved drainage systems to mitigate the negative effects of land-use changes. Stakeholder involvement is crucial for implementing sustainable conservation policies effectively. Recommended measures include terracing on sloped land, riparian buffer zones, and sustainable agricultural practices to enhance environmental resilience, reduce flood risks, and prevent further degradation. Long-term conservation efforts engaging multiple stakeholders are essential to balancing economic growth and ecological sustainability. Additionally, active community participation in environmental management ensures the effectiveness of conservation initiatives. Raising awareness about land-use change impacts through targeted education and training programs can facilitate the adoption of sustainable practices. Implementing modern monitoring technologies for erosion and sedimentation is also critical for maintaining watershed stability. Strengthening policy frameworks and encouraging collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and researchers can further support sustainable watershed management in the Kr. Peuto CA]]>
