Abstract

West Sumatra is one of the provinces that is rich in various elements of customs and local wisdom. West Sumatra implements Community-Based Forest Management in the form of a village forest called Hutan Nagari. The Minang Kabau people, especially those who still live in forest areas, rely on forest products to acquire traditional knowledge related to the use of biodiversity. Nagari Forest Management is intended to provide access to the community with participatory principles to manage forests and utilize biodiversity in a sustainable manner that has not been implemented optimally in West Sumatra. This paper aims to describe the existence and role of local communities in preserving biodiversity in Nagari Forest management in West Sumatra. This paper uses a literature and literature study method, namely reviewing literature related to biodiversity conservation in local community-based forest management. The existence and role of local communities in matters related to the management and utilization of Nagari forest biodiversity in West Sumatra is the key in preserving forest and biodiversity around the forest. The role and existence of local communities can be implemented with community involvement in every forest management activity either institutionally, activities from government support or local communities self-help.
