Abstract

Environmental issues today are increasingly complex and challenging, necessitating the use of local wisdom from indigenous communities for effective solutions. This study aimed to: (1) identify local wisdom practices in environmental conservation in the Leuser Pining area of Gayo Lues Regency; (2) examine how ecological citizenship is strengthened through these practices; and (3) identify obstacles in this process. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from 10 participants, including local leaders and community members, through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Findings revealed that local wisdom practices, such as bur perueren (cattle raising areas), bur perempusen (crop growing areas), bur perutemen (firewood collection areas), blang penjemuren (agricultural drying areas), and aih aunen (bathing and drinking water areas), are crucial for environmental conservation. Strengthening ecological citizenship is facilitated through cultural arts like didong sesuk, saman, and bines, as well as community deliberations and socialization. However, economic challenges hinder the reinforcement of these practices. In conclusion, this study enhances community environmental awareness and serves as a valuable reference for similar communities, illustrating how local wisdom can maintain ecological balance.
