Abstract


Abstract: Mangrove forests directly and indirectly impacted local people's livelihoods in Indonesia. The research aimed to examine the contribution of mangrove forests to local livelihoods in East Lombok, Indonesia. Data were collected from 115 respondents using a questionnaire, face-to-face interviews, and group discussions. The results indicated that only 12% of people exploited the mangrove forest as their primary job area, while 88% utilized the mangrove as a side business. Furthermore, mangrove forests generated household income through fish, crabs, prawns, firewood, and tourism. The household income from the mangrove forest services for fish, crab, prawn, firewood, and tourism was notably 24%, 16%, 15%, 21%, and 32%, respectively. The mangrove forests had a positive, albeit minimal, impact on local livelihoods due to ecosystem degradation. Thus, the limited contribution caused by the reduced quality of the mangrove forest ecosystem was attributed to the low awareness of locals regarding preservation. The results implied that nature-based rehabilitation for mangroves could be recommended to create a better impact on people.
