“…The customary limitations described in this study imitates previous studies that make significant contributions to the conservation of biodiversity and management of protected areas (Arjjumend and Beaulieu-Boon, 2018), play an important role in protecting rare species (Virtanen, 2002); and to sustainable climate change adaptation (Mekonnen et al, 2021). Change or breakdown of those limits likely to increase pressure or threatens on biodiversity.…”

Subsistence hunting has sustained human populations in New Guinea for millennia, without seriously affecting the highest levels of biodiversity on Earth. Recent changes to hunting practices, demographic, social and economic context and the introduction of large exotic species has significantly altered the dynamic of hunting and its potential effects in north-west New Guinea. In this paper we examine contemporary hunting practices of six ethnic groups from highland to coastal sites throughout Papua and West Papua provinces of Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews were used to examine hunting practices as well as customary rules and attitudes associated with hunting in the region and how they have changed in living memory. Each group indicated traditional restrictions on at least one of target, tool, timing or tenure, albeit in varied ways. Six different hunting tools were used and each hunter typically combined several tools while hunting. Religious and cultural factors deeply influenced hunting practices among the communities. We discuss the implications of these findings and conclude with recommendations to integrate local, village level governance and customary practices with regional and national law for more effective conservation and management of wildlife in the region while simultaneously respecting cultural heritage and local ecological knowledge.

“…Climate-related impacts become pressing on farmers’ overall livelihood systems, leading to farmers’ aspiration failure ( Dalton et al., 2016 ; Islam et al., 2021 ). The aspiration failure of farmers has consequences, such as cognitive depiction, poverty, food insecurity, and an inadequate response to climate shock ( Mekonnen et al., 2021 ). Farmers who strive to overcome climate-related shocks and achieve their aspirations to for future life opportunities need sound policy support in the agriculture sector ( Genicot and Ray, 2017 ; Suckall et al., 2017 ).…”

“…Local wisdom includes knowledge, practices and values that have been formed from generation to generation in local communities. This knowledge has recognized as having a wealth of knowledge regarding sustainable and cultural ways or techniques in utilizing and caring for natural resources and promoting sustainability (Kaya & Seleti, 2013;Mazzocchi, 2020;Mekonnen et al, 2021;Senanayake, 2006). Applying local wisdom in everyday life means that we will continue to strive to help preserve the environment, reduce negative impacts on nature, and encourage the preservation of local culture.…”

The theme “local wisdom, sustainability, and education” attracted the attention of researchers, and the number of publications began to increase, making it interesting to study. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to review various research published in journals indexed in Scopus database related to the theme “local wisdom, sustainability, and education”. The review focuses on publication trends as well as the contributions and recommendations that can be obtained. Disbursement was focused on the largest database in the world (Scopus), where 186 articles were obtained. preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis model was used to obtain suitable articles, so that finally only 10 articles met the criteria to be analyzed. We obtained data that the dominant research was conducted using a qualitative approach or method. There is no dominant author, and all authors are not related to each other. Local wisdom and sustainability “meet” in the word Indonesia, showing Indonesia’s position and urgency in this study. The theme “local wisdom, sustainability, and education” is still not an interesting issue asking for international collaboration, so research collaboration is still local. We discuss all the findings. We also discuss the contributions and recommendations of the 10 articles analyzed, which can be grouped into aspects of sustainable agriculture, sustainable watershed management, implementation of environmental education curricula, and teacher professionalism development. Contributions and recommendations are aimed at all aspects of education (both formal, non-formal and informal education). Findings can be a consideration or baseline for researchers to study theme of “local wisdom, sustainability, and education” according to their respective backgrounds and objectives.
