The Potential of Turtle Conservation at Pelangi Bantul Beach Yogyakarta As A Source for Biology Learning Sustainable

Abstract

One of the goals in the SDGs' mission is Goal 14 - Life Below Water. This mission aims to conserve and sustainably use marine resources, oceans, and seas for sustainable development. Through direct field observations at Pelangi Beach, Bantul and literature studies, an analysis of local potential has been carried out with a focus on three aspects: 1) availability or completeness, related to the presence of learning resources in the vicinity; 2) suitability or relevance, related to the alignment of learning resources with the learning objectives; and 3) ease or feasibility and eligibility, related to the ease of organizing, developing, and utilizing the learning resources. The results show that Pelangi Beach has turtle conservation and various educational activities such as eco-brick making and pandan planting around the beach. Turtle conservation can also be a suitable subject for learning, aligning with the learning achievements in the independent learning curriculum, such as ecosystem, biodiversity, and environment. Additionally, the availability and completeness of the beach are complemented by the ease of access to Pelangi Beach. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that Pelangi Beach has the potential to be a source of learning for Biology.
