This study explores the role of civic participation in promoting ecological stewardship through the efforts of the PMPH Association in the conservation of the Muria Forest. Situated in a region facing increasing environmental degradation and socio-economic pressures, the PMPH Association mobilizes local communities to engage in sustainable forest management, reforestation initiatives, and environmental education. Using a qualitative case study approach—including interviews, participant observation, and document analysis—the research highlights how community-led conservation fosters a sense of environmental responsibility, enhances local knowledge systems, and strengthens collective action. The study also identifies the challenges of maintaining civic engagement, such as resource constraints, political dynamics, and competing land-use interests. The findings underscore the importance of grassroots organizations in bridging policy and practice for effective forest conservation.
