Peat swamp forests (PSF) are vital natural resources for local livelihood dynamics, which are impacted by both natural and policy factors. In order to manage vulnerabilities and maintain their standard of living, rural communities surrounding PSF adapt by making use of the available capital. This article uses a case study in Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia, to explore how the PSF shift has affected the livelihoods of nearby villagers. To accomplish these goals, we conducted a narrative review in order to collect data and information. Natural resource extraction, cultivation, and product processing occur across a range of time spans, with variations in the quantity and kind of commodities, as well as PSF deterioration and company management. The livelihood diversification and agriculture intensification strategies are typically combined by the local population in PSF areas. We contend that the key to diversifying livelihoods is ownership and access to financial and natural wealth. For community groups that lack access to cash, migration is a calculated choice. Strengthening the knowledge base through capacity-building initiatives is necessary to intensify the blending of traditional and non-traditional livelihood methods. In order to manage PSF in a cooperative and inclusive manner, the government must encourage community involvement
