Abstract
Leuser Ulu-Masen landscape is considered to be a very important habitat for Sumatran Tiger. Mane Sub-district in Aceh Province, part of Leuser-Ulu Masen landscape, is identified as an area that has strong local wisdom characteristics in forest management. The objectives of this research were to analyze the perception of local community to the existence of tiger, analyze local wisdom arising from the presence of tigers, analyze mitigation of local community to human-tiger conflict in our study area. Hunting of all wildlife in this forest area is strictly prohibited. We realized role of customary law which prohibits wildlife hunting activities will have a good impact on the conservation of Sumatran tigers. We strongly recommend this model of natural resource management in our research location (based on good local wisdom) be implemented in other areas, especially in areas that have high human-tiger intensity and high density of tiger in human-dominated area.
