Environmental Management Based (EMB) on Local Wisdom for Sustainable Utilization of Natural Resources in the Environmental Rescue Movement (ERM) in Villages, South Konawe, Indonesia

The Environmental Rescue Movement (ERM) is closely related to Local Wisdom-Based Environmental Management (EMB), where ERM functions as a collective forum for village communities to preserve and rehabilitate the environment through environmentally friendly traditional practices that are in harmony with local culture. EMB is a conceptual foundation that leads to the integration of appropriate technology, education, and active community participation. This synergy strengthens the sustainability of the village ecosystem, ensures the fair use of natural resources, and ensures sustainability for future generations. The movement to save the environment in villages is very important to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and the sustainability of natural resources. The assessment of ecosystem services in the Yangtze River Delta Integrated Green Demonstration Zone emphasizes the importance of saving the environment and balancing ecosystems for sustainable management of waterfront areas [1]. Energy efficiency in public buildings is important for saving the environment and ecosystem balance by utilizing ICT to optimize HVAC systems to save energy without sacrificing the comfort and health of residents [2]. The environmental movement focuses on the sustainability of natural resources by integrating environmental protection into national policies, although global challenges such as global warming and abnormal atmospheric phenomena remain [3]. Monitoring of spatial-temporal changes in aquaculture in Southeast Asia reveals a rapid initial expansion followed by a decline, with changing distribution patterns, supporting environmental movements, and natural resource sustainability [4]. The impact of migration on nature-community interactions, social disparities, and cultural adaptation in sustainability, suggests that migration can support environmental movements and natural resource sustainability [5]. Local wisdom-based environmental management plays a key role by utilizing traditional knowledge and practices that have proven effective in preserving nature. Environmental management and local community knowledge are important in developing sustainable ecotourism in Bur Telege through Qanun regulations and local community involvement [6]. Socio-ecological research in Nepal demonstrates the importance of local knowledge in environmental management to support community adaptation to changing dependence on forests and agroforestry [7]. Community service programs leverage traditional practices and sustainable environments to process inorganic waste into innovative blocks, reduce waste, and support sustainable community development [8]. The research investigates traditional Malay silverware crafts that have existed for two centuries, reflecting the culture and heritage of the community by leveraging sustainable practices linked to the environment [9]. The study evaluates the intensity of the development and utilization of the Liaoning coastal zone, taking into account its natural characteristics essential for integrated coastal zone management [10]. Respect the local culture and encourage the active participation of the community in conservation, as the village community has a strong emotional and social bond with the environment. Active community participation in nature conservation is the main key to sustainable local tourism development in Tapulaga Village [11]. Active community participation in conservation in Bangka Belitung shows the potential for integration of local laws to overcome the problem of illegal tin mining [12]. Good physical and social conditions influence strong emotional and social ties to the environment, especially in Guangzhou, China, where rapid changes in the market have changed the fundamentals of the urban environment [13]. Strong emotional and social connections on social media often provide informational and emotional support, contrasting with the common notion of the importance of weak bonds in encouraging participation [14]. Online games facilitate the development of social and emotional skills and form strong emotional bonds with the social environment [15]. Sustainable use of natural resources, such as organic agriculture and community-based forest management, can improve the economic well-being of villages. The pillars of natural resources, innovation, globalization, and green growth are intertwined, forming the basis for sustainable economic prosperity in the BRICS countries [16]. The research examines the economic landscape of Humbang Hasundutan Regency, North Sumatra, focusing on potential sectors to be developed for sustainable economic growth and community welfare [17]. The utilization of Africa’s critical natural resources for sustainable manufacturing can improve global supply chain resilience and global economic well-being [18]. Study the spatial and temporal dynamics of agricultural land resource transformation in the Sino-Vietnam border area to advance sustainable development goals related to food security and economic well-being [19]. Although Algeria is rich in natural resources, increased labor productivity in the agricultural sector is key to promoting sustainable economic growth and better well-being [20] Integrating environmental conservation with improving the quality of life of village communities. Project management in the implementation of social and environmental programs in the Russian Arctic Zone focuses on environmental preservation and provokes an improvement in the quality of life of the population [21]. Arsenic contamination of nature and human activities seriously impacts environmental quality and human health, requiring in-depth research to support efforts to preserve the environment and improve the global quality of life [22]. The development of sub-urbanization in northern Russia is closely related to economic and technological modernization for environmental preservation and improvement of the quality of life in the region [23]. The use of Aloe vera gel in conjunction with chitosan in the manufacture of food coatings shows significant improvements in the physicochemical, mechanical, and antioxidant properties of edible films, potentially maintaining the quality and shelf life of fresh products as well as supporting environmental sustainability [24]. Grassland management with aeration and control methods can maintain the natural state and improve environmental quality and economic sustainability [25] However, reality shows that the lack of understanding and support of the local community hinders the movement to save the environment in the village. The significant increase in energy prices since 2021 has prompted a change in views on energy poverty in the Netherlands, suggesting that social housing and financial shortages are the main obstacles to public participation in the energy transition [26]. Judges who handle environmental cases are not oriented toward environmental protection and rescue, with the main obstacle being the ultra-petita principle [27]. The Community Service Program in Karangmalang Wetan Village aims to overcome obstacles in maintaining the environment to create a healthy and comfortable environment [28]. It is necessary to understand the obstacles to implementing customary law in Indonesia in the context of saving the environment, which is regulated by stronger positive laws [29]. The battery-assisted PV-FC green energy system is proposed as a solution for rural electrification in Pakistan, overcoming fuel logistics barriers and unstable diesel prices, and saving the environment with zero emissions [30]. Environmental management based on local wisdom has not been optimally implemented, especially the use of endemic plants and traditional water conservation methods. The KOTAKU program in Penataban Giri Village, Banyuwangi, has successfully built drainage and sanitation facilities, reflecting environmental management efforts without local wisdom [31]. Environmental management using local wisdom, as seen in Banjarmasin, significantly reduces the use of plastic bags through regulations and persuasive approaches [32]. It is necessary to collect and preserve ethnopharmaceutical knowledge based on the use of endemic plants by the Tolaki-Mekongga tribe in their traditional medicine [33]. Angola has a high biodiversity, especially in the Leguminosae family, with many endemic species with local economic value, such as traditional medicine, animal feed, and food [34]. The combination of camera traps and passive acoustic monitoring to address the significant data shortage regarding the reproductive status and vocalization character of the White-winged Flufftail demonstrates the effectiveness of non-traditional methods in conservation [35]. Neglect of sustainable natural resource utilization practices leads to environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. The mineral processing industry is crucial in the extraction of natural resources, focusing on the circular economy to reduce environmental degradation and reuse waste into valuable assets [36]. Green finance plays an important role in improving rural economic resilience and environmental sustainability by supporting sustainable agricultural practices and reducing environmental degradation [37]. The watershed management strategy is integrated for sustainable resource utilization in the Kalte River watershed, which aims to reduce land degradation through best management practices such as terraces [38]. Ecological agriculture with an artificial intelligence approach supports the sustainability of natural resources, reducing biodiversity loss and environmental impact [39]. Climate change caused by human activities, the solar cycle, and the loss of biodiversity drives the need for sustainable natural resource practices to mitigate its impacts [40]. Limited infrastructure and resources can hinder effective conservation efforts. The implementation of environmental flows (e-flows) supports river conservation by overcoming infrastructure barriers and uneven and slow water resource management [41]. To explore the policies and physical infrastructure that support universal accessibility in the natural environment, which considers the challenge of balancing environmental conservation with environmental conservation [42]. Urban expansion along the Yellow River in Zhengzhou is causing ecosystem damage, with a green infrastructure network plan proposed to address environmental conservation barriers and ecosystem service needs [43]. Soil corrosiveness mapping helps identify the risk of damage to fence infrastructure, supporting environmental conservation by preventing invasive animal migration, such as in the Marna Banggara rewilding project on the Yorke Peninsula [44]. Increasing biodiversity through green infrastructure in vineyards in New Zealand’s Waipara Valley, faces obstacles such as a lack of appreciation and knowledge from farmers and implementation and management costs [45]. There is not yet optimal synergy between the government, local communities, and non-governmental organizations to integrate local wisdom in sustainable environmental conservation programs in villages. That BIPVTGDPCM integrated with PCM addresses the lack of integration in environmental conservation with energy efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, and long-term economic benefits in Rohtak, India [46]. Lack of integration in environmental conservation in the Ouricuri watershed leads to anoxic conditions at some points and high environmental risks, requiring immediate intervention to address pressures from sanitation systems and illegal construction [47]. The implementation of Total Quality Management TQM and Green Supply Chain Management GSCM in Pakistan’s textile industry improves product quality, operational efficiency, and environmental conservation, despite the lack of integration in environmental conservation efforts [48]. Since independence in 1962, although Algeria’s constitution and policies have increasingly emphasized environmental conservation, less effective integration has hindered real implementation in protecting nature from climate change [49]. The lack of integration in environmental preservation leads to the erosion of traditional village space due to urbanization, inhibits the adaptation and continuity of spatial texture, and loses the unique characteristics of traditional villages in Xiaoxi, Hunan [50]. The solution is that the movement to save the environment in the village can be carried out through environmental management based on local wisdom and sustainable use of natural resources. The revitalization of Maja Labo Dahu’s local wisdom through strengthening social programs, customary institutions, and forest supervision is important to save the environment in Bima Regency [51]. The important role of local wisdom in the conservation of natural resources, combining environmental anthropology with traditional agricultural practices to maintain ecological harmony [52]. Sustainable development policy in Tiga Luhak encourages the preservation and utilization of local Minangkabau wisdom as an Indigenous cultural value and knowledge that supports the development of human resources [53]. The Mamar system in West Timor is a local wisdom policy for environmental conservation by utilizing natural resources in a sustainable manner according to the values and conditions of the local community [54]. Skills in managing natural resources in Simeulue, such as coconuts, reflect local wisdom. Still, the reluctance to renew coconut plantations due to respect for cultural heritage requires community awareness to ensure sustainable use of natural resources [55]. It involves the use of traditional practices that are environmentally friendly and maintain the sustainability of the village ecosystem. The introduction of climate-friendly agricultural technologies in villages to improve yields and food security, as well as traditional agricultural practices, can improve the sustainability of village ecosystems [56]. To evaluate the sustainability of Mamar’s traditional agroforestry in West Timor by analysing community livelihood assets, biophysical land performance, and ecosystem service value, it shows changes in management that interfere with the sustainability of village ecosystems [57]. Traditional rotational farming practices in Forest Villages in the Barak Valley, Assam, Northeast India, are undergoing a shift towards other agricultural systems, emphasizing the importance of ecosystem sustainability in its transition to diverse sources of livelihood [58]. Urbanization in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region has a major impact on village ecosystems; Reliable data evaluation is needed to maintain ecosystem sustainability [59]. The construction of an ecological corridor for white cranes in Chongming Dongtan helps maintain the sustainability of the village ecosystem through the optimization of appropriate habitat patterns and strong ecological networks [60]. Maintaining the balance of nature and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources for future generations. The labour market is highly dependent on academic and vocational education and advanced training to address digitalisation and sustainability challenges, with education as a key factor to ensure national competitiveness and sustainable innovation [61]. The transition to clean and sustainable energy sources is important to ensure the future sustainability of natural resources and the environment [62]. Discuss efforts to improve the management of agricultural production through the wise use of available natural resources, to improve environmental sustainability in the long term [63]. Understanding the process of evolution is important to maintain the sustainability of natural resources for a sustainable future [64].
