“…In Indonesia, a stronger, fairer, more effective government policy could include a return the forest management based on local customary law, in areas where local communities still have the skills and desire manage their local forest sustainably to preserve its biodiversity and ecological functions. This would have the added benefit of improve equity of access to forest resources, as Indonesia's constitution stipulates (Nanang and Inoue 2000). Given the scale and urgency of the deforestation crisis currently occurring in Indonesia a wise government will seize the opportunity to reform laws, policies and associated practice so that law enforcement not only reforms its substance, but also reforms the legal culture and legal structure (Ifrani et al 2019).…”

The Indonesian government has not been able to realize sustainable forest management under the 1945 constitutional mandate, causing much forest damage. Indonesia urgently needs good forest governance. Therefore, it is essential to give a more significant role to local communities in managing forests in the future. The primary objective of this research project is to find sustainable forest management practices based on the customary law of the Bayan community. This research uses the literature review and case study method. An additional objective of this research is to study the problems that occur due to the absence of legal protection for local communities with regard to forest use and conflicts. This research demonstrates that the Indonesian government provides extensive support to the private forestry sector (for example through award of permits) and has ignored the rights of people who live around the forest. Forest management through customary law, such as Awiq-awiq in Bayan village, can provide great economic, social, and cultural benefits to local communities. Awiq-awiq regulates prohibitions, sanctions, and the procession of the customary assembly in association with forest management, and has been an effective way to use forests sustainably. The local community is highly compliant with awiq-awiq because they have been directly involved in drafting and reviewing this regulation. The customary law approach used by the Bayan community is an example of sustainable forest management practices that run well; and could be a valuable model for the Indonesian state and other forest conservation managers to consider.

“…In state forest areas, it collaborates with indigenous peoples to classify forest areas. Conservation is divided into use, traditional use and protected zones that are free from human interference (Nanang and Inoue, 2000). For example, as an ethnic minority, the Baduy people live side by side with nature (forests and mountains).…”

The data were collected through a literature study and in-depth interviews with informants related to the Baduy tribe. The collected data included documentation and interview transcripts that were translated into English. Data analysis was conducted in a descriptive manner, equipped with related evidence.Findings The Baduy community holds firm to its customs and culture called pikukuh. The Baduy community applies the concept of sustainable forest management in that local communities are directly involved in forest management activities to improve welfare and implement sustainable forests.Practical implications The implication of this research is that it is beneficial for forest conservation based on customary law, using the conservation approach of the Baduy tribe as a local community in protecting the sustainability of forest resources and their sustainability for the next generation. This study contributes as a guide for the government to formulate policies that will include local communities into conservation programs and government policies. It may apply to a study of coordination with related institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in implementing forest conservation.Originality/value This study uses primary data from the Baduy tribe, which has unique local traditional values regarding the territory and the important role of the forest. The originality of the findings from the excavation of each activity was based on the procedures and beliefs regulated in customary law regarding forest management.
