KONSERVASI PESUT MAHAKAM (Orcaella brevirostris) BERBASIS KEARIFAN LOKAL DI KALIMANTAN TIMUR, INDONESIA

Rega Permana, Nora Akbarsyah, Taufik Rahman

Abstract

Pesut Mahakam (Orcaella brevirostris) merupakan mamalia akuatik yang hidup di perairan tawar dan endemic di sungai mahakam di Indonesia. Statusnya sudah dikategorikan critically endangered oleh lembaga konservasi internasional IUCN dan tergolong pada Appendiks I CITES. Penurunan populasinya yang terjadi setiap tahun menjadikan upaya konservasi penting untuk segera dilakukan. Salah satu bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam upaya konservasi sumberdaya perikanan adalah melalui kearifan lokal. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keberadaan kearifan lokal dalam menjaga populasi pesut Mahakam melalui studi pustaka dan literature. Hasil kajian menunjukan bahwa factor antropogenik menjadi factor utama dalam tekanan populasi pesut Mahakam. Keberadaan kearifan lokal yaitu legenda mengenai asal usul pesut Mahakam dan domain (dongeng dan permainan) menjadi upaya alternative dalam menumbuhkan kepedulian akan pesut Mahakam terutama pada generasi anak. Upaya konservasi pesut Mahakam akan berjalan secara efektif bersama dengan dukungan pemerintah dan partisipasi aktif masyarakat.
