📝 Abstract
Tropical ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots crucial for global ecological balance yet face threats from anthropogenic activities. This study explores the synergies between community-based conservation efforts and biodiversity monitoring to enhance ecosystem resilience. Our primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of local community involvement in biodiversity conservation efforts. We employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative biodiversity surveys with qualitative interviews of local stakeholders in three distinct tropical regions. Results indicate that community participation significantly boosts the monitoring capabilities and preservation success rates. Additionally, empowering local communities with conservation knowledge was found to improve both ecological outcomes and socio-economic conditions. The study concludes that integrating community-based strategies within conservation frameworks can offer sustainable solutions to biodiversity loss, promoting long-term ecological and societal benefits. These findings highlight the necessity for policy frameworks that support local involvement in conservation efforts, ensuring ecological integrity and resilience in tropical ecosystems.
