- Abstract
This study examines the feasibility of alternative livelihoods for mangrove conservation in Tabalar Muara, East Kalimantan, under the Blue Carbon Pilot Project initiated by Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara (YKAN). The project aims to protect mangrove ecosystems from further degradation by promoting sustainable income-generating options, including mangrove honeybee farming and integrated mangrove ecotourism. The assessment uses primary and secondary data collected through stakeholder interviews, market analysis, and financial evaluations, employing methods such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). Results show that both livelihood options are economically viable and environmentally sustainable, with a positive net benefit and potential for long-term conservation. Recommendations include investment in infrastructure, capacity building, and improved market access to support local community participation.
