Background: The conventional emphasis solely on protective measures in national park management has proved ineffectual in averting damage resulting from illicit human interventions. Facilitating local community access to the national parks through conservation partnerships constitutes a strategic conciliation, aimed at forestalling potential conflicts. This study seeks to ascertain if the government's proposition of conservation partnerships, serves as a conciliatory mechanism to alleviate tensions between local communities and park administrators. Methods: Data was procured through in-depth interviews and field observations conducted within the research site. The informants consisted of academicians, staff of the national park, local government, village leaders, and local communities. Field observations encompassed an immersion into the national park locale, involving the scrutiny of diverse community activities. Results: The conservation partnerships have fostered a more symbiotic rapport between national park management and local communities. The local community is now perceived as collaborative guardians of the sustainability of the national park, while park managers assume the role of facilitators and protectors of community activities within the park. The fears and illegal actions of local communities that were carried out before the partnership have been replaced with harmonious engagement and unhindered participation. Conclusion: The implementation of conservation partnerships has brought positive impacts on the livelihood of local people and also on the sustainability of the forest. Through conservation partnerships, the activity of the local community to access non-timber forest products was protected by the park office. This condition encourages the creation of harmony between local communities and the forest manager. Keywords: conservation partnership, local community, management, national park
