The document discusses sustainable community-based ecotourism in Bali, Indonesia. It outlines challenges like loss of agricultural land and proposes solutions like regenerating rice fields and empowering local communities. A case study of Taman Sari village in Pemuteran is presented, where ecotourism initiatives have led to coral reef regeneration, reforestation, and economic benefits. The WowBali Farm model is introduced as focusing on sustainability, community involvement, and cultural preservation through regenerative practices, education programs, and economic opportunities that help alleviate poverty and develop youth. The goal is to establish models of sustainability for other regions in Bali.
