Abstract

The city of Palu in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, faces significant environmental challenges, including coastal erosion and the risk of natural disasters such as tsunamis. In this context, the existence of mangrove forests is very crucial. This research explores the important role of Mangrove Rangers, a non-governmental organization (NGO), in addressing government gaps in mangrove conservation in Palu City. NGOs play a vital role in enhancing public value through environmental conservation and community empowerment. Mangrove Rangers have succeeded in conserving mangroves by collaborating with various parties. They also play a role in increasing community awareness and participation as well as planning economic development through mangrove-based ecotourism. The research results show that Mangrove Rangers not only contribute to environmental conservation but also strengthen the resilience of local communities to natural disasters. However, challenges such as lack of coordination with the government and minimal access to information are still the main obstacles. These findings highlight how important collaboration between governments and NGOs is in achieving sustainable conservation goals. This research offers important insights that are relevant to other regions facing similar challenges around the world.
