Abstract

This research aims to determine the background to the formation of the Muara Tanjung Women’s Group (MTWG) in mangrove forest conservation, the movements carried out in mangrove forest conservation and the obstacles encountered by the MTWG. Research Location in Sei Nagalawan Village. This research uses qualitative research methods with an ethnographic approach. Techniques in this research were carried out by means of in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation. The results of the research show that the background to the formation of the MTWG in mangrove forest conservation began with the conversion of the function of mangrove forests to ponds which caused mangrove forests to be damaged, causing abrasion and flooding in Sei Nagalawan village, so Mrs. Jumiati, as the founder of the women’s group, invited women to get involved directly protect the coastal environment. The movements carried out by the MTWG range from mutual cooperation activities, mangrove tree nurseries, mangrove tree planting, mangrove fruit processing, savings and loans, training and environmental education. With this activity there are obstacles that occur ranging from a dirty environment, land grabbing by the community to the lack of support from the village government.
