Abstract
<p>The developments of forest conservation Wildlife (SM) in Bentayan as flora and fauna ecology has created a conflict within the society and has negatively affected the wellbeing of the community in the area. The communities have used a lot of natural resources for their life. A development of Bentayan’s Wildlife Centre has been opposed by the community as the usage of various natural resources have been restricted after the development of the wildlife centre started. In order to solve the conflicts, many strategies have been employed. However, the expected outcome has not yet been achieved. Therefore, the current study provides a conflict resolution model approach to accommodate the interests of all parties, both society and government through the Natural Resources Conservation Center. The model was developed from narrative data that was collected through series of dialogues and negotiation process with both parties (community and agency/Centre) involving stakeholders and community members. This proposed model can be used as a framework for managing forestry and wildlife centre.</p>

Summary
The forest area has a very strategic role either for ecological stability, economic purposes, social interests or cultural preservation. The forest economy functions as production sources of wood, rattan, mushrooms, food, traditional medicines, fruits, tourist places, firewood, animal feed, and other economic interests. The forest serves as a place for livelihood for people to secure the basic necessities such as water supply from spring water, prevent soil erosion and ensure soil fertility setting. Ecological forest functions as the main counterweight to keep the integrity and stability of the world's ecosystems. This is stated in the Declaration of Rio de Janeiro by the UN: function of forest resources to meet social and economic needs of society, the balance of ecological, cultural and spiritual generation in the future. Past empirical study revealed that economic developments have a strong connection with societal wellbeing (Jalaluddin, Abdul Razaq, Mohd Mahzan, & Alfitri, 2014)
