This project was inspired because the pandemic COVID-19 affected to ecotourism sector of Bawean Island. In addition, we found other environmental problems. Therefore, Pramuka Universitas Indonesia (UI Scout) applied a proposal community service program to our university (University of Indonesia). Finally, our proposal was accepted and got funding from university. The topic of the project is "Ecotourism Development Based on Community Empowerment in Bawean Island, Sangkapura, Gresik".
This project has been held in Bawean Island, Gresik, Indonesia. These programs used 2 methods, offline and online activities. Offline activities there are provided education of mangrove's benefits to Scouts member of "Sako Scouts Keren 18 Bawean", observation of endemic animal "Axis kuhlii", provided socialization of SDGs and e-commerce to the community, and mangrove trees planting.
