Biodiversity is crucial for human well-being and societal development. However, human activities are causing significant biodiversity loss. Indigenous and local communities are often overlooked in conservation efforts, despite their key role in safeguarding biodiversity. Piper magen, a spice, faces extinction due to overharvesting and habitat loss, with its economic and culinary value complicating conservation. This study integrates P. magen rewilding into community life, stabilizing local resources and reducing wild resource exploitation. Through tissue culture and cutting, P. magen seedlings were propagated and planted in two communities with indigenous involvement. Indigenous people were trained in cultivation techniques, actively participating in its conservation and sustainable use, highlighting the importance of community engagement in biodiversity conservation. This study underscores the critical role of community involvement in the conservation and sustainable management of endangered species. By integrating ethnobotanical knowledge with community-based rewilding efforts, it not only demonstrated the feasibility of local stewardship in biodiversity protection but also underscored the potential for such collaborative approaches to reconcile the preservation of at-risk species with their sustainable utilization. This model of community engagement sets a precedent for future conservation, emphasizing the need for inclusive strategies that leverage indigenous knowledge and promote ecological sustainability alongside economic viability.
