One of the provinces in Indonesia that has local wisdom in forest management is Lampung Province, specifically in Pesisir Barat District. Lampung Province is dominated by indigenous Lampung tribes. The local wisdom they practice is related to the knowledge and utilization of vegetation around the Repong Damar. This study aims to examine vegetation conservation efforts based on cultural values in relation to the cultural characteristics of Lampung tribal communities. The research approach uses quantitative methods and data collection based on snowball sampling techniques. Data analysis used included: Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) formula in analyzing the importance of vegetation; and Spearman Rank in analyzing the correlation of indigenous characteristics to ICS. The study showed that of the 29 species found, ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is the vegetation that has the highest ICS value of 42. The Shorea javanica has ICS value as 22.5 while the species of jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum Benth.), kabau (Archidendron bubalinum Jack.), bayur (Pterospermum javanicum Jungh.), pepper (Piper nigrum L.), suren (Toona sureni Merr.), taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott.), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), petai (Parkia speciosa Hassk.), tupak/kemundung (Baccaurea racemosa Muell.), and coffee (Coffea sp.) have the lowest ICS, the each value is 4. The ICS shows that indigenous people mostly used ginger as medicinal plants in their daily lives. Age (> 45 years) and duration of stay (indigenous people) have a positive correlation to ICS, while education level, age (< 45 years), education and duration of stay (migrants) have a negative correlation to ICS. Based on the results of this analysis, education has no correlation to ICS therefore the younger generation (< 45 years) and migrants need various extension education and or various training to increase skills in managing the Krui damar forest because their condition has a negative correlation with the cultural index.
