🌿 Tradition of the Marori Tribe and Conservation Practices
This paragraph discusses the Marori tribe's traditional conservation practices, specifically the Sasi tradition, which prohibits resource extraction from certain areas to allow the ecosystem to recover. This ban applies to water and forest areas, helping protect biodiversity from over-exploitation. It highlights how the tribe abstains from hunting or utilizing forest products to give nature a chance to heal. The Marori people of Wasur village in South Papua practice a ceremonial ban for 40 days and sometimes up to 1000 days when a relative dies, refraining from hunting in areas frequented by the deceased. The tradition culminates in a celebration marking the end of the ban, which also symbolizes the release of the deceased to immortality. This conservation effort is further emphasized by placing a rope marker (called 'urea' in the Morori language) in sago hamlets, ensuring no resources are taken from the area for an agreed period, typically two or three years.
🛡️ Harmony Between Local Wisdom and Modern Conservation
The second paragraph reflects on the compatibility of Marori tribal customs with modern conservation theories. It describes how the tribe’s traditional prohibitions (such as the Sasi) align with contemporary ideas of resource protection. The practice ensures that areas previously used for hunting by deceased relatives are respected and left untouched for a specified period. These customs serve as a natural way to conserve wildlife and forest resources until the community decides to lift the ban. The wisdom in their conservation approach mirrors that of scientific principles, demonstrating their deep understanding of environmental stewardship.

just take what
we have, we still feel it's lacking and it's not too complete
. following the wisdom of
their ancestors in preserving nature, one of which is when the tradition of the Marorin tribe is held
for a certain period of time which prohibits its citizens from entering an area to extract
resources in which this prohibition applies in water and forest areas. They
have a moral story to give an opportunity or opportunity for the ecosystem to recover
while helping to protect the richness of biodiversity from over-exploitation due to
hunting activities or utilization of forest products. To be honest, there have been a lot of big changes at all and [Music]
is it hunting and we can still see kangaroos here
with this type of planting they can come to this area now. No one
is part of the Maroon tribe. They live in groups in Wasur village, Merauke district,
South Papua province. When their relative dies, they hold a big tradition during
Sar
. for 40 days they abstain from eating animal menus or garden products related to
Toto Marga for at least 1000 days they prohibit Taking resources in swamps or forests
where the deceased had hunted during this period They give nature the opportunity to be allowed
the prohibition ceremony This starts from the big planting of a kind of stick wood as a marker,
the climax is Oggy's Garo celebration, namely the lifting of the 1000-day ban through
a ceremony to remove the Nisa. Clans from all over Merauke celebrate it by partying for
3 nights in the laser village. This ceremony is also a symbol of letting go of the dead to immortality

Tradition in Marori language it has to do with conservation because [music]
the momentum is when 40 days are over 40 days there is a sign of Sasi which must be placed in the sago hamlet
in the form of a string bracelet so that it is placed throughout the song and its nature cannot
take anything in there the momentum for conservation is taken when we go
Sago hamlet we put what the rope in Morori language is called urea we put it
there it becomes a marker for a certain agreed period of time for example
two or three years and all kinds of animals that are there then trees and cannot be
cut down for example in The sago hamlet cannot be demolished, so it cannot be disturbed. [Music] The
local wisdom of the people in Wasur National Park, if we look at it, it
is actually perfect, in my opinion, meaning that there is no conflict with
modern conservation, the theories put forward by experts, because in they also
have a name of
protection
protection .
they die they'll remember
that their relative used to hunt everywhere where those places
were given So they can't hunt there for a period of a year 2 years and
so on until they're ready to open the chassis back up like so that means if
we will
see
that they
do have a
way to protect them
. I can, the people, I need help from gentlemen. [Music]
