Abstract

In the ecosystem of Rawa Lebak, Hulu Sungai Utara, South Kalimantan, wetland restoration methods were evaluated. Shifting land use and human activities degraded this wetland, degrading environmental quality and removing endemic species. The results showed that reintroduction of native vegetation, water management, and local community participation were successful restoration strategies that increased biodiversity, improved soil and water quality, and created economic opportunities through ecotourism. The success of the restoration program in improving the function of the wetland ecosystem is indicated by an increase in the population of endemic flora and fauna species such as Pandanus odorifer and Ardeola speciosa, as well as improved water quality and decreased sedimentation. According to this study, adaptive and participatory restoration methods can be a useful model for restoring other wetland ecosystems in Indonesia. However, facing challenges related to program sustainability such as climate change and human pressures on ecosystems requires long-term sustainable management
