Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the evolution of community-based mangrove conservation in Wringinputih Village, Indonesia, from the implementation of the Cofish Project to the present. It also aims to develop a social-ecological framework for future mangrove management that supports ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, coastal landscape resilience, and sustainable community livelihoods. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and source triangulation. Informants included village authorities, fisheries officers, Perhutani representatives, fisher groups, and aquaculture farmers. Environmental measurements utilized a pH meter, thermometer, hand refractometer, GPS, and digital camera. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Main Findings: Mangrove conservation in Wringinputih Village evolved from ecosystem degradation caused by aquaculture expansion toward a community-based restoration model supported by multi-stakeholder collaboration. Continuous rehabilitation activities increased mangrove cover, improved habitat quality, enhanced biodiversity conservation, strengthened coastal protection functions, and supported fisheries resources. The proposed social-ecological framework highlights the integration of ecosystem restoration, community participation, institutional collaboration, environmental education, and sustainable livelihood development to strengthen coastal landscape resilience. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a comprehensive reconstruction of mangrove conservation history from the Cofish Project period to the present and integrates the findings into a social-ecological resilience framework for coastal landscape management. Unlike previous studies focusing primarily on restoration outcomes or governance mechanisms, this research demonstrates how ecosystem recovery, biodiversity conservation, stakeholder collaboration, and community participation interact to support long-term mangrove conservation and landscape resilience.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to analyze community perceptions and participation in mangrove and coral reef conservation and to evaluate their implications for sustainable coastal ecosystem management in Sendang Biru, Malang Regency, Indonesia. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research design was employed using a structured questionnaire survey involving 97 respondents selected from a population of 2,841 coastal residents through proportionate random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques based on perception scores and percentage distributions. Main Findings: The results indicated that community perceptions of mangrove and coral reef conservation were generally positive, particularly regarding environmental benefits. Approximately 76% of respondents were familiar with mangrove ecosystems, and 68% recognized their environmental benefits. Environmental perception scores for mangrove and coral reef conservation were 164 and 183, respectively, while economy perception scores reached 115 and 105. In contrast, perceptions of economic benefits differed between ecosystem types, with mangrove conservation receiving a negative score (T = 68) and coral reef conservation a positive score (T = 159). Community support for conservation initiatives was high (T = 180), but willingness to participate directly in conservation activities remained low (T = 82). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides an integrated assessment of community perceptions and participation in both mangrove and coral reef conservation within a coastal ecosystem management framework. The findings reveal an awareness–participation gap, demonstrating that positive conservation perceptions and support do not necessarily translate into active participation, highlighting the need for more participatory and community-based conservation strategies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This review identifies technical, socioeconomic, and institutional barriers constraining Cambodian vegetable farmers from transitioning away from high‑chemical practices toward formal safety standards such as CamGAP. Methodology: Evidence was synthesized from peer‑reviewed studies, government manuals, and institutional reports published between 2010 and 2026. Main Findings: Results show that, although CamGAP adoption increases productivity, minimizes the amount of pesticide applied and results in increased economic returns under contract farming, the take up of CamGAP has been modest because of high certification and infrastructure costs; burdensome record‑keeping; weak consumer recognition; and market price parity with non‑certified produce. Institutional assistance from MAFF, PDAFF, NGOs and private sector has promoted training, subsidies and awareness, but caution among farmers is caused by market volatility and limited demand signals Novelty/Originality of this study: Taken together, CamGAP provides paths to modernization and safer production, but ongoing adoption will depend on stronger consumer awareness, consistent price premiums and continued institutional support to make certification viable for smallholders.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the teratogenic effects of ethanolic extract of Cinnamomum burmanni leaves on fetal development in white mice (Mus musculus L.). Methodology: This research is a laboratory experimental study using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and a pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 24 pregnant female mice were divided into four treatment groups: negative control (Na CMC), P1 (250 mg/kgBW), P2 (500 mg/kgBW), and P3 (1000 mg/kgBW). The extract was administered orally during the organogenesis period. Observed parameters included fetal weight and length, morphological abnormalities, hemorrhage, ossification, and resorption sites. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test. Main Findings: The results of the study showed that administration of ethanolic extract of Cinnamomum burmanni leaves significantly (p < 0.05) reduced fetal weight and length, and induced morphological abnormalities and hemorrhage at doses of 250 mg/kgBW and above. However, no abnormalities were observed in the ossification process or resorption sites. Novelty/Originality of this study: The ethanolic extract of Cinnamomum burmanni leaves demonstrated potential teratogenic effects on fetal development in white mice, characterized by growth retardation and morphological abnormalities. This study provides an important basis for evaluating the safety of using this plant during pregnancy.
