Women's Leadership in Mangrove Forest Conservation

Women have been moved by the government's lack of role in preserving the culture of planting mangrove trees. Women believe that they should also be responsible for protecting mangroves. This research investigates the role of women in protecting Indonesia's mangrove forests. Data was collected through a qualitative study. The research results show that women in forest conservation positions must increase public awareness of the importance of protecting the environment. The Muara Tanjung Women's Group is the only women's group that has succeeded in establishing conservation to protect mangrove forests. One of the efforts made by this group is to protect mangrove forests by planting mangrove trees regularly and sustainably. The Muara Tanjung women's group also consistently conducts ecotourism efforts in the mangrove forest area. Until now, the Muara Tanjung women's group has remained active and consistent despite its combined leadership style of feminism and masculinism
