The results of the study show that the Sakura tradition, which is a symbol of respect for nature, and Nyambai, which represents social interaction in Lampung customs, is still maintained through various adaptations. Conservation efforts involve the integration of local culture in educational activities, performing arts, and cultural festivals. In addition, the role of local governments, cultural communities, and the younger generation is very important in maintaining the existence of this tradition. This article emphasizes the importance of preserving local culture as part of the nation's identity that is able to synergize with modernization without losing traditional values.
