Papua Barat Sebagai Provinsi Konservasi: Noken Konservasi Sosial Budaya Austro-Melanesia

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the efforts of the West Papua Provincial Government in presenting the Conservation Province from a socio-cultural perspective. The conservation province was launched in the framework of maintaining environmental sustainability and natural integrity so that the management of natural resources and the integrity of the ecosystem can be maintained. As a product of constitutional legitimacy, Conservation Province in a socio-cultural perspective is interpreted as a relationship between one entity and another capable of expressing environmental harmony through the principle of noken conservation.
