Abstract
Objectives: Local wisdom is the identity of a nation's cultural personality which can be a legal concept that is very closely related to values, norms, and practices that have developed in a local community or society that has been proven to have a positive effect to help the process of food security and resilience and biological conservation. Theoretical Framework: Forest fire prevention through local wisdom is built on environmental management theory, socio-cultural perspectives and sustainable development principles. Forests are important ecosystems that provide a variety of ecological, economic and social benefits. Method: mixed methods combined quantitative and qualitative. Data collection through: observation, interviews, distributing questionnaires. Research locations in Indonesia (Silimahuta, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra) and Terengganu, Malaysia. Results and Discussion: (1). Indigenous communities in Indonesia and Malaysia protect the forests as part of their lives, protected by local wisdom, in preventing forest fires, (2). Application of local wisdom models to prevent forest fires by controlled indigenous communities for agricultural purposes. (3) By showcasing successful examples from communities in Indonesia and Malaysia, the article contributes valuable insights that can be replicated or adapted globally, aligning with SDG 17 focus on replicating successful multi-stakeholder partnerships. Research Implications: That local wisdom in preventing and controlling forest fires can change community behavior in reducing the risk of forest fires by clearing land in the dry season and not opening agricultural fields near national park areas. Originality/Value : Local wisdom can be used to protect and maintain forests, which is an ancestral mandate that must be carried out from generation to generation
