“…Culture is essential as it shapes a community's values and how each community perceives the world and behaves accordingly [10]. Previous research has shown that folk beliefs support the sustainable use of natural resources which contribute to enormous increases in the pristine highland forest [80]. Our findings not only prove that their cultural values, which are sustained through oral traditions and traditional festivals, have shaped the way the community governs their resources, but they also promote and maintain social cohesion among the communities.…”

The traditional knowledge of indigenous people is often neglected despite its significance in combating climate change. This study uncovers the potential of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) from the perspective of indigenous communities in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, and explores how TEK helps them to observe and respond to local climate change. Data were collected through interviews and field work observations and analysed using thematic analysis based on the TEK framework. The results indicated that these communities have observed a significant increase in temperature, with uncertain weather and seasons. Consequently, drought and wildfires have had a substantial impact on their livelihoods. However, they have responded to this by managing their customary land and resources to ensure food and resource security, which provides a respectable example of the sustainable management of terrestrial and inland ecosystems. The social networks and institutions of indigenous communities enable collective action which strengthens the reciprocal relationships that they rely on when calamity strikes. Accordingly, the communities maintain their TEK through cultural festivals and oral traditions passed from one generation to another. TEK is a practical tool that helps indigenous communities adapt to climate risks and promotes socio-ecological resilience, which upholds social empowerment and sustainable resource management.

Home gardens in villages near conservation areas play an important role, both in ecological and socio-economical aspects. The aim of this research was to identify plant species diversity in home gardens in Pancasila Village, Tambora Geopark in the Sumbawa Islands. Floristic surveys were conducted at 25 home gardens in the local community. In-depth interviews with informants were conducted to generate information related to species value and home garden management. Results of the study show that 87plant species (46 families) were grown in home gardens. These plants consisted of 49.56% Phanerophytes, 8.90% Chamaephytes, 25.28% Hemicryptophytes and 6.70% Cryptophytes. According to phytogeograpical origins, 24.41% of the species were exclusively Asian-Tropical species. These plants had numerous purposes, including staple food, spices and vegetables, fruit trees, shading trees and ornamental plants. Among all species in home gardens, some plants had high frequency percentages, including Nephelium lappaceum (52%), Bougainvillea spectabilis (40%), Mangifera indica (36%), Musa paradisiaca (36%) and Coffea sp. (32%). Most of the species were identified as exotic plant species and, therefore, attention to such species groups is needed to protect the environment and biodiversity of Tambora Geopark. Home gardens in Pancasila are ideal sites for biodiversity conservation. It is also crucial environmental component in rural tourism development.
