SummaryNatural resource-related conflicts between local communities and nation states can be extremely destructive. Worldwide, interest is growing in gaining a better understanding of why and how these conflicts originate, particularly in protected areas inhabited by local communities. The literature on local attitudes towards and perceptions of park conservation and park–people conflicts is quite extensive. Studies have examined the socioeconomic and geographical determinants of attitudes to protected areas. However, the role of such determinants in the experience of park–people conflicts has received considerably less attention. Drawing on 601 interviews with people living in or near 15 Colombian national protected areas (NPAs), we examine the socioeconomic and geographical variables that are most influential in people’s experience of conflict related to restricted access to natural resources. We find that the experience of this type of conflict is largely explained by the NPA where a person resides, pursuit of productive activities within the NPA, previous employment in NPA administration, gender and ethnicity. We recommend implementing socially inclusive conservation strategies for conflict prevention and resolution in Colombia’s NPAs, whereby both women and men from different ethnic groups are engaged in design and implementation.

Geopark as a conservation area has a potential for biodiversity, geological diversity, and culture. This diversity of potential is developed as an integral part of the Geotourism area. This research was conducted in the Gunung Batur conservation area and the purpose of this study was to determine the role of guides through the delivery of information provided to tourists to contribute to the protection of the Batur geopark conservation area as sustainable tourism. The role of the guide was identified through the perception of tourists by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents. The results of the study state that there are two variables, namely the communicator mediator and the Research management role of environmental interpreter in the category "Simply Agree". The sub-indicators of the variable are "Explain potential (geology) as the main potential of the conservation area" with a score of 52.8 percent; "Explain the activities of local communities in the conservation area" with a score of 59.4 percent; "Describe natural resources, vegetation and habitat at the climbing location" with a score of 50 percent. The three sub-indicators are indicators that are the main function of the role of guides in the conservation area, but this sub-indicator gets the lowest percentage, therefore it is interpreted that the role of guides in the Batur Kintamani Geopark conservation area still needs improvement in interpreting information related to socio-cultural potential , as well as geology as a potential for conservation, and natural resources.

AbstrakTulisan ini menjelaskan tentang peran ekosistem hutan mangrove sebagai habitat untuk organisme laut dengan menggunaan analisis diskriptif. Data diambil dari literatur-literatur terkait yang kemudian didiskripsikan lebih lanjut. Data yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove di Indonesia diperkirakan mencakup area seluas 4,25 juta hektar, hanya sekitar 2% dari seluruh wilayah daratan, namun nilai ekonomi dan lingkungannya tidak boleh di bawah perkiraan, oleh karena itu kehadirannya harus dijaga. Sebagai zona transisi antara ekosistem terestrial dan laut, ekosistem mangrove telah lama dikenal memiliki banyak fungsi dan merupakan penghubung penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan biologis ekosistem pesisir. Ekosistem hutan mangrove merupakan habitat penting bagi organisme laut. Umumnya didominasi oleh moluska dan krustasea. Moluska ini terdiri terutama dari Gastropoda dan selanjutnya didominasi oleh dua keluarga, yaitu Potamidae dan Ellobiidae. Sedangkan untuk krustasea, terutama terdiri dari Brachyura. Beberapa fauna mangrove juga dikenal sebagai bahan habis pakai dan secara ekonomi penting seperti Terebralia palustris, Telescopium telescopium (Gastropoda), Anadara kuno, Coaxans polymesoda, Ostrea cucullata (Bivalvia), dan Scylla serrate, S. olivacea, Portunus pelagicus, Epixanthus dentatus, Labnanium politum (Crustacea).Kata kunci : hutan mangrove, ekosistem mangrove, moluska Abstract This paper describes the role of the mangrove forest ecosystem as a habitat for marine organisms by using descriptive analysis. The data are drawn from related literatures which are further described. The data obtained indicate that mangrove forests in Indonesia are estimated to cover an area of 4.25 million hectares, only about 2% of the entire land area, but its economic and environmental value should not be underestimated, therefore its presence must be maintained. As a transition zone between terrestrial and marine ecosystems, the mangrove ecosystem has long been known to have many functions and is an important link in maintaining the biological balance of coastal ecosystems. The mangrove forest ecosystem is an important habitat for marine organisms. Generally dominated by molluscs and crustaceans. This mollusc consists mainly of Gastropods and is further dominated by two families, namely Potamidae and Ellobiidae. As for crustaceans, mainly consisting of Brachyura. Some mangrove fauna are also known as economical and economically important materials such as Terebralia palustris, Telescopium telescopium (Gastropoda), ancient Anadara, Coaxans polymesoda, Ostrea cucullata (Bivalvia), and Scylla serrate, S. olivacea, Portunus pelagicus, Epixanthus dentatus, Labnanium politic (Crustacea).Keywords: mangrove forest, mangrove ecosystem, mollusk,
