<![CDATA[Changes in the urban landscape can affect the structure of insect communities, including butterflies, which are sensitive to environmental conditions. This study aims to inventory butterfly species, analyze ecological indices, and examine how environmental factors influence butterfly communities in the city of Mataram. The method used was a field survey employing the time-search technique, with measurements of temperature, humidity, and light intensity, and analysis of the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Margalef species richness, Pielou evenness, and Simpson's dominance. The results revealed 44 species from five families, with high diversity (H′ = 3.081), high species richness (R = 7.018), high evenness (E = 0.814), and low dominance (D = 0.077). Generalist species dominate the community, although a limited number of specialist species remain. The study's conclusions indicate that the butterfly community in Mataram City is relatively stable yet beginning to be affected by urban environmental pressures. The implications of this research underscore the importance of managing diverse, sustainable green open spaces to support butterfly conservation as an urban ecosystem bioindicator.]]>

<![CDATA[Science learning that is disconnected from real-world contexts limits students' ability to build a meaningful understanding of natural phenomena. Desa Sade, a traditional Sasak village in Central Lombok, offers rich, directly observable scientific phenomena embedded in its vernacular architecture, traditional weaving, and local ecological practices; however, its potential as a contextual science-learning resource remains systematically unexplored. This study aims to identify and describe the science-learning potential of Desa Sade ecotourism as a contextual science resource, based on direct field observations. A descriptive-exploratory qualitative approach was employed, using non-participant field observation. Data were analyzed using a qualitative-descriptive technique involving data reduction, narrative presentation linking phenomena to scientific concepts, and drawing conclusions based on the alignment between field findings and core scientific competencies. Results identified 13 distinct scientific phenomena across three domains: (1) vernacular architecture demonstrating thermal insulation in Alang-alang roofing and mechanical advantage in stone stairs; (2) traditional weaving illustrating subtractive color mixing and the biological properties of cellulose fibers; and (3) ecological practices, such as fermented buffalo manure flooring, providing a context for biological decomposition and microbial activity. These findings confirm that Desa Sade serves as a multi-disciplinary outdoor laboratory that bridges abstract concepts with authentic cultural contexts. Consequently, integrating ecotourism visits into middle and high school science curricula is highly recommended as a place-based pedagogical strategy to strengthen scientific literacy and cultivate sustainable cultural and environmental conservation values.]]>

<![CDATA[Despite the growing recognition of ecotourism as an educational resource, the systematic integration of local sites into formal science curricula remains underexplored in rural Indonesian contexts. This study analyzes the potential of three ecotourism destinations in Pemepek Village, Central Lombok: Lembah Datu, Pindah Alam, and Forest Area with Special Purpose (FAWSP) Rarung, or KHDTK Rarung, as contextual science learning materials for elementary and junior high school levels. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research used field observations and science concept rubrics to identify educational themes and analyzed the data using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that each site offers distinct scientific content: Lembah Datu provides insights into riparian ecosystems and simple machines; Pindah Alam facilitates learning on the hydrological cycle, hydrostatic pressure, and renewable energy; and KHDTK Rarung supports the study of biodiversity, symbiosis, and biotechnology. Collectively, these destinations function as "nature laboratories" that bridge abstract scientific theory with real-world observation. By synthesizing these findings, the research contributes an ethnoscience-based framework that guides educators in developing innovative, place-based curriculum strategies. Ultimately, this study demonstrates how local ecotourism can be transformed into a pedagogical tool to enhance scientific literacy through direct environmental engagement.]]>

<![CDATA[Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of coastal environments; therefore, studies of mangrove community structure are essential to support the management of ecotourism areas. This study aims to analyze the structure of the mangrove community in the Bale Mangrove Ecotourism Area, East Lombok. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method through vegetation analysis using line transect and quadrat plot techniques, followed by analysis using the Importance Value Index (IVI), density, and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'). The results indicate the presence of 5 mangrove species across 3 families, with the highest importance index values observed in the sapling stage, specifically Rhizophora stylosa (101.12%) and Rhizophora mucronata at the seedling stage (83.39%) and the tree stage (91.01%). The highest density was found at the seedling stage at 15,666.67 ind/ha, followed by saplings at 9,573.33 ind/ha and trees at 1,933.33 ind/ha, while the overall diversity index was classified as moderate with an H' value of 1.340. In conclusion, the mangrove community in the Bale Mangrove Ecotourism Area is relatively stable but dominated by certain species. The results of this study indicate the need for ecology-based management to enhance species diversity and ensure the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the ecotourism area.]]>

<![CDATA[Spiders play an important role in ecosystems as natural predators and can be used as indicators of environmental conditions. This study aimed to analyze the relative abundance and diversity index of spiders in the ex-situ and in-situ conservation areas of Kebun Raya Lemor, East Lombok. Data collection was conducted using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method with a 200-meter transect and a 20-meter observation width. Data analysis was performed using the relative abundance formula and the Shannon–Wiener diversity index. The results showed that in the ex-situ conservation area, 13 species from 6 families were recorded, whereas in the in-situ conservation area, 8 species from 5 families were found. The highest relative abundance in the ex-situ area was represented by Leiobunum vittatum and Argyrodes miniaceus, while the in-situ area was dominated by Leiobunum vittatum. The diversity index in the ex-situ area was 2.32, and in the in-situ area was 1.32, both of which are classified as moderate; however, the ex-situ area showed higher diversity than the in-situ area. These findings indicate that the ex-situ area has a more heterogeneous habitat that supports a more diverse and balanced spider community than the in-situ area.]]>

<![CDATA[One relevant concept in supporting contextual learning is the use of ecotourism as a learning resource. Ecotourism serves not only as a recreational activity but also as an educational medium that integrates environmental, social, and cultural aspects. This study aims to comprehensively examine the use of ecotourism as a science learning resource in Indonesia through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The method follows the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, including identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages. A total of 20 selected articles from the Scopus and SINTA databases, published between 2016 and 2025, were analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that ecotourism has significant potential as a resource for contextual and experiential learning. Its implementation has been proven to enhance students’ scientific literacy, critical thinking skills, and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. Furthermore, integrating ecotourism into learning supports the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by strengthening ecological awareness and sustainability values. However, the application of ecotourism as a learning resource still faces several challenges, including limited curriculum integration, policy support, and the readiness of educational resources. Therefore, it is necessary to develop systematic, innovative, and technology-based learning models to optimize the use of ecotourism in science education.]]>

<![CDATA[Waste generation in mountain tourism areas has become a critical environmental issue, driven by increasing visitor numbers and the dominance of single-use packaging. However, limited attention has been given to how hikers' consumption preferences shape waste patterns. This study aims to analyze these preferences using a brand audit approach to support eco-friendly packaging innovation. A descriptive quantitative method was applied through surveys and checklist observations involving 180 hikers along the Tetebatu hiking trail, Mount Rinjani National Park. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions. The results show that hikers predominantly prefer practical, ready-to-use products such as snacks, instant food, and bottled mineral water, which dominate the waste stream. A key finding reveals that waste generation is highly concentrated within a small number of dominant brands, indicating that specific producers disproportionately drive environmental impacts. This demonstrates that hikers' preferences significantly influence both the type and persistence of waste in mountain ecosystems. The study highlights that brand audit provides a strategic link between consumption behavior and environmental impact, offering a targeted basis for eco-friendly packaging innovation. This research contributes to sustainable tourism by emphasizing upstream interventions through product and packaging redesign, supported by collaboration among producers, policymakers, and conservation authorities.]]>
